Depends on your definition of feminism.
To my mind there have been 3 incarnations...
1) Equality of opportunity.
2) Equality of outcome.
3) Men are the scum of the universe. Get rid of them.
I’m of the first go around. And while I think a parent, either parent, staying home with kids is ideal, it’s not always possible.
As to waiting longer in life...
Sometimes you can wait too long, and even better living through chemistry can’t help.
And waiting longer means you’re likely to be less a parent and more a grandparent. Age does take a toll.
And there’s a lot in addition to Feminism II and III to blame.
No fault divorce, societal acceptance of adultery, shacking up, single parenthood by choice.
Cultural rot.
I feel for young adults now. We’ve left them a mess.

I certainly agree with all of this.
All well-stated, mewzilla. Even no fault murder.
