So many of us had hoped that the civil system might be an alternative for some women, where the burdens were a little bit less, and cases might be easier to prove.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The concern was that if a woman was doing gender equality, her chances of making it to tenure in the law school were diminished. It was considered frivolous.

Feminism was about making women's lives less constrained and giving them more choices.
Women are obviously much more discriminated against than men in many ways.
Women have to risk civil disobedience for their rights.
If women really want equality, we have to wipe the slate clean. It no longer matters in the largest sense what men did to us for the last 200 or 300 years.
Perhaps there is no greater issue facing contemporary women than the choices they must make about balancing home and work.
That a majority of women do not wish for any important change in their social and civil condition, merely proves that they are the unreflecting slaves of custom.
