I mean the current state-of-affairs. I am beginning to wonder whether feminism has done women as many favours as we might at first think. For example, the death of manners is almost intrinsically linked to feminism - most men don't give up their seats or hold the door for a woman any more and some don't even feel the need to modify their language or treat women nicely.
Also, there is a tendency now for women to feel like they 'have' to have a career. They are also compelled to go out to work rather than look after their children if they so choose.
I'm not suggesting that feminism wasn't great in many ways - equal pay for equal work or Child Support, for example, but do you think that, in many ways, it has made life much harder for women nowadays?
