has in some ways given woman fewer options that they expected.>>

I would basically agree with this. The women's movement may have given women more options, but so many more responsibilities that the additional options are a burden rather than an opportunity, in many cases.

I don't think the feminist movement was any kind of conspiracy, however. I think it developed pretty naturally out of women's rage at being excluded from most sorts of power. And it really happened quite quickly. When I started college, most of my girlfriends were planning to stay home and raise families. When I graduated, there was extreme pressure to choose a career, the bras had come off, and the incidence of leg shaving was severely diminished.
