It's going to be tough to reverse without a second American Revolution. I agree legal reversal is virtually an impossibility without a major revolution. However, I'm not as pessimistic on a moral one. More and more of my 30 and 40 something women are denouncing the whole feminist idea and desiring a more traditional role in marriage. Such women are much less likely to seek a divorce for simply reasons of boredom or laziness or "irreconcilable difference". They're also much more likely to take their role in marriage seriously and carefully marry a man who shares this. In this, I see the current situation as being part of a cycle.

These are the bitter women who have been burned by the feminists. They are now willing to play the role but, biologically, they have little left to offer a male.
They learned too late. Their prime breeding years are past.
