The so-called women's liberation movement has given women the same opportunities as men in the schools and work force, which, in turn, has given women better opportunities to obtain more money, and, thus, be more financially independent than their past counterparts, who, basically, were house drudges earning no pay, and, thus, did not make monetary contributions for themselves and, if applicable, their family.

I'm not so sure about this one... Myself, and many women I know, seem to have a bigger burden since the women's movement. Now women have full time jobs on top of taking care of kids and house. Its really twice the work and the men in our lives haven't picked up any household responsibilties. In a way I'd have to say the women's movement has helped men who no longer are expected to be sole providers for their families.
