And what do women have to show for feminism? Beyond 'equal pay for equal work', we have the destruction of marriage and family. We have women thinking that a husband is not necessary to raise children, even as we have much higher crime rates from fatherless children. We have women who become frantic to have children as their biological clock starts to run down because they haven't been able to find a suitable husband. We have a lot of young males who got the message that they don't have to buy the cow because they can get the milk for free.
And strangely, we have women thinking they are better off acting like men than like women.
Friedan fixed a few social problems that probably would have fixed themselves in time. In the process she set in motion trends and forces of social change that wreaked many lives.

Oh those darn unintended consequences....
Fact is, she knew what she was doing. Marx and Engels had called for the abolition of the family decades before she began her work. She knew that stirring the pot and convincing women that they were better off without men would help to disintegrate the family.
I suppose only God knows how many families have been ruined because of Mothers giving in to the temptation to believe feminist lies.
I'm an anti-feminist because I completely acknowledge my dependance on my husband to provide me and my little ones with food, clothing, and shelter, especially while I am pregnant and nursing.
I just cringe when I see a young mom trying to do it all. She burns out so fast, and the ones who truly suffer are the babies.
