- Hard to measure impact of feminism
- Changing girls ambitions

- More options than just having a family so girls are motivated

- Changes in the family
- Women are more likely to take on the role of the breadwinner due to increased divorce and lone parent families
- Careers are now normal for women, families do not need to be nuclear to function efficiently however there is a crisis of masculinity
- Changes in women's employment
- Equal numbers of men and women are in full time employment and more women are looked for managerial jobs
- Girls are more motivated to work hard as there is more to their future than being a housewife
- Feminists argue that this a great step to equality of the sexes however there is less oppurtunity for men so now they see themselves as having no future
