emotional strain

Marxist feminism explanation

explanation: Marxist feminist Hart suggests the ‘triple shift’ which she believes leads to a greater conflict and divorce as the female is responsible for the burden of housework, childcare and a career which can lead to increased stress and unhappiness in a relationship.

Liberal Feminist would say women are now more financially independent and more stable and can leave unhappy relationships this would explain why 70% of divorce petitions come from women

evaluation: New Rights Realist Murray would argue that many of these women form a family structure of lone parent household which creates a underclass and and element of welfare dependency on the government, which Murray would view in a negative manner
