Yes, this is one of the main things that drive women towards feminism-- When they believe that they are shackled down and the only way to free themselves is to completely rebel against the status quo. From what I can tell, thats exactly what happened in America, where for years women were told to stay in their place and shut their mouths...

You bring up an important point. Feeling as though Armenia and Armenian society value and respect women would go a long way toward encouraging the sorts of fond feelings and national pride that would compel women to fight its betterment and protection.

Further, we should also consider the fact that children are raised by TWO parents. Having BOTH parents set this kind of example for their children would also encourage more children to follow their parents' example.

So in conclusion we can't look to the western society and say it is the best choice and implement it as it is. neither we should look at the east ones implement that as it is and not even look at ourselves and keep on doing what we are doing now. My opinon is to make our Armenian sociologist to do seriouse research and come up with answeres, Armenian formula that will exploit the potential that women have (they present around 50% of Armenian population Im not saying women are smarter or vice versa its pure statistics) in the mean time not to decrease our birthrate and keep this studies going every once and a while for adjustment in the right direction

The reason western society doesn't have to rely on its existing population to increase in birthrates is because it is constantly migrating people from less fortunate parts of the world (which is usually due to its own political actions).

I would also like to mention that a large part of the students of the universities in Armenia are girls. It would be a pity (and waste of money and potential) if we do not use their knowledge.

Except from those 1.5 million Armenian women in Armenia, we can win the hearts of more than 5 million Armenian women in the Diaspora. There are far more advantages than disadvantages.

The birth rate in Armenia is not high right now (we are not like muslims, besides it is as high, or low, as in European countries), I even want to claim that if Armenian women become more involved in our society, politics, economy, military, this will lead to the growth of our population. We just have to have strict laws protecting the women who are pregnant and create a strong pro-children policy.

I want to suggest to read some of Monte Melkonian's (our great hero) book where he treats women and man as equals and talks about the HUGE potential of our women.

It is foolish to think that we men teach norms and values to our women. They are not Armenian because we dictate them, they are Armenian because Armenian blood runs through their veins. We are equals! They are as much concerned about the well-being of our country as we do, they are as much concerned about the preservation of our Armenian heritage as we do. We do not have to force women to study, be a professor, to go to the front line, but we must give them every opportunity to do so and promote the integration of women into our society.

Long live Armenian women!

If integration into these roles leads to the betterment of conditions in Armenia, it would provide more incentive to diasporans to move to Armenia, so in that way at the very least the population of Armenia would see growth.

Even in ancient Armenia you and Mos would be outdated. You know nothing about our women in our history. Such a shame that this stupid attitude exists in our young people.

God created female human/animals primarily for giving birth to children, taking care of them, feeding with milk and ensuring sustainability of the kind of creatures.

Is this thread going to make extinct the mammals population? Because here female are not supposed primarily doing things, God advised. FYI: male can’t do it on their behalf, for leaving female more time doing other things.
