Women's Rights

Another issue that is somewhat controversial is that of women's rights. How do people feel about this? Assume we are talking about the USA. Should provisions exist for the use of traditional discipline by husbands with their wives? Should more laws exist to assure equality and fairness in the workplace between men and women?

People I have spoken with have had thoughts that ran from more equality is needed for women at work and home to women shouldn't be allowed to divorce or have careers. I think it is important to realize that issues like this aren't always one way or the other. Someone might feel a certain aspect should be more traditional while another should be more progressive.

One idea I have heard more than one person express is that girls should not be considered legal adults until they marry. This would circumvent some of the issues of women's rights in a sense. It would mean that until marriage a female would be subject to the rules and discipline of parents or legal guardian. Is this a good idea? A bad one? I'd love to hear from others on this and other issues on women's rights. A poll is far too simple to gain any meaningful statistics on how people feel about this. I will include one though regarding the issue of when a girl should be considered a legal adult.
