FEMINIST, CONSERVATIVES, AND MEN WHO SUPPORT NO-FAULT DIVORCE ARE TO BLAME FOR AMERICAN TREND TOWARDS HIGH DIVORCE RATES STARTING IN THE 1970S.

Feminist should be blame for America's trend toward high divorce rates, starting in the 1970s because they are eager for changes. Women began to bring in ideas such as "Women doing housework were people outside the modern economic system, therefore they were like serfs or peasants." which encourage themselves to pursue freedom and rights. This causes law like no-faults divorce to form.

Conservatives should also be blamed because they created the stereo-type in society. For example, man was expected to work, and woman was always expected to " made the beds, shopped for groceries, matched slip-cover material, ate peanut butter sandwiches with her children, chauffeured Cub Scouts and Brownies" this was a stereo-type that the society created together, therefore it leads to woman wanting "change" which drives the divorce rates.

On the other hand, men who supported the no-fault divorce should also be blame for America's trend towards high divorce rate because by supporting they made divorce easy. Man started the "Jennifer fever". This means that old man were panicking with their middle age crisis, they started to find their wife no longer fulfilling, and desires younger woman. This drives the divorce rate and leaving the society with marriage gap in the late 20th century.
