The feminist movement, the one in the 70's, wanted all the things the top commenter wanted. It asked for structural change. Subsidized daycare, wages for housework, better maternity leave, all that stuff. The pushback from the men in power was enormous, and the eventual compromise was, "Ok, we'll grudgingly let you work in our companies, as long as you accept worse treatment, lower wages -- and most importantly, always pretend to be little men." This isn't the fault of "the feminists." This is a bum deal that was the best women of the 80's could get, and then they tried to make it work.
