Question: What is your view of the feminist movement in retrospect?
#1
Fantastic- gave women rights they were strongly denied. Go get em girls!
 
#2
Hmm. It was okay, but it's now impractical as equality has been reached
 
#3
It caused more harm than good. Men got a raw deal today and children and the family have been ignored. But equality for women is still important
 
#4
A failure. Men are now the victims of a female orientated health and education system. It is men who now have to play catch-up not women.
 
#5
Feminism is the tool of the devil.

Option 1, though I don't like how it's worded.

Although the feminist movement has achieved a lot, there is still more to be accomplished.

I find it interesting that some posters think that the feminist movement has achieved full equality when women aren't even paid the same as men for the same work.

But women and men generally don't do the same jobs, and the jobs women do tend to demand fewer hours and less work than the jobs men do, and they therefore make less.  Most families choose this type of arrangement so that women can be more available to their families.

The high-paying jobs are VERY demanding, and are mostly done by men, or childless women.  These types of jobs are generally not compatible with raising a family.  Men have traditionally done these types of jobs.

Perhaps if men and women would equitably share childrearing and housework, women could work demanding jobs and raise a family well.
