Answer:

What are the pros and cons of women empowerment?

The pros are obvious: you have a more free and fair society.

I would say there are few cons that are inherent to women empowerment. The real cons are specific to the way you go about trying to achieve it. For example: insisting that there must be gender parity in all areas. This does not always lead to better outcomes and often causes related problems. It also puts more pressure on women to avoid gender roles than they often had to adhere to them in the first place. And this is proven in countries like Norway where, following extremely intense campaigns to remove gender stereotypes and increase equality, women are now more likely to choose traditionally female careers than they were before. Because when society removed all of the environmental factors influencing choices like that, all that remained were the biological factors. This is not actually a problem, but it is seen as a problem by some misguided champions of women empowerment. In reality, people are better able to choose what they prefer without pressure and are happier as a society because of it. But some people have this paradoxical idea that if a women looks at a male dominated career, she will be innately discouraged by the the higher number of men (or that the lack of parity is proof of sexism), so the solution is to pressure women into that field and offer them advantages over men until parity has been achieved. Because once parity has been achieved, they claim, women are now free to choose. Even though that parity itself was forced through deliberate social engineering. Basically: some women empowerment advocates simply don't accept that women have their own individual desires that matter even if they aren't in alignment with their idea of a gender equal society. And all of this is without even considering men’s concerns.

This is just one example and there are many others. The problem is not women empowerment, it's just disagreement and confusion over what women empowerment really means and how best to support it.
