I'm writing a paper on the 1960-1970s second-wave feminism movement. In this paper I'd like to talk about the overall effect of the movement on the population, and how this decade changed women's lives. Does anyone know of anything specific that would be useful for me to note? I plan to mention Betty Friedan, and the organizations' attempts at supporting/passing the Equal Rights Amendment, and also how this rise in women's liberation changed individual households, families, and marriages.
Is there anything important from this decade regarding my topic that I should also include?

Thanks

The women's movement caused abortion to eventually be legalized, reducing all population levels. Reducing all taxes collected. Reducing the plan for future earners to pay into social security as others got on the rolls through age. Reducing any chance to balance a budget for demoncrats to not possible, because new taxes cannot be increased since no future baby boom is possible.
Women choose whether they have children, the men have no say in it anymore. As such the women's movement is moving toward exterminating themselves. Woman who choose to not have children will have the children of others rule over them as they age. The women controlling sex, made woman less impowered, not more. Because the choices the woman's movement made killed them off, in a single generation. Only women who do not see the folly of 'not choosing motherhood' instead a career and never being home because you are at work all the time will always defeat themselves eventually, they will be out produced and out populated out of existence. The woman's movement made themselves the new minority. And soon extinct.

All of that was statisical fact, now here is my opinion:
Freedom is in being what you were meant to be. If you can hold a life inside you, and give more to the future then you should do so. If you can be taken care of and have someone at any level support you, and help you, then taking on a tougher job like homemaker is better. Women multitask well. But a standard corporate job is not about that, but a home life is. At least if you have multiple kids. Sure the women's movement in the short term has more people working, but are they still making a future? No
