That’s what the movement was all about. Making it easier. On-campus daycare, whatever it takes.
Without it, we have had tens of thousands of women postponing childraising, and then finding it hard to conceive.
As far as the job market is concerned, being female is the ultimate disability. Instead of making allowances for the physical difference and different social demands of women, they just decided not to hire them or to pay them less. So women had to commit to not having children while employed.
We lost not only the children who might have been born but in many cases a lot of the talent that the country could have profited from.
Sweden is the ultimate model of feminist benefits: state funded day care, night nurseries, fathers get five months parental leave -- and Sweden's native birth rate is still below replacement at 1.88 births/woman.
Because the culture has women not valuing being wives and mothers.
