Question:

Do you feel the Women's Liberation Movement helped women or harmed women?


Answers:

There's no denying that women have gained greater personal rights and opportunities in the more than four decades since Betty Friedan wrote "The Feminine Mystique."
Changes range from wider career choices and more equality of pay to more serious consideration of issues like domestic violence.

Like many movements, however, feminism has come to be burdened by its most vocal true believers, and when the extremists control the agenda, the whole movement suffers.

Public perception of feminism has been defined by scowling, screeching, man-hating nutcakes to such an extent that many people see any issue involving women's rights as part of some crazy radical agenda.
Sadly, this allows cultural conservatives to discredit the whole notion of feminism.

My answer, therefore, is that "women's lib" has helped women (and the society as a whole) but that the record is not perfect.
