The point you make about feminist concerns in the west is interesting... it has both been strengthened and weakened in different ways in the sense that some goals were reached, which led many to declare the battle won too early.

This is exactly what happened to African American liberation in the late sixties, too. MLK was able to achieve a foothold for his people that many mistook as the end of the fight. As a consequence, there was a lot of false perceptions of just how much they'd gained, and the collective power of the freedom movement collapsed.

Basic lesson everyone should learn... don't count your chickens before they're hatched? Or maybe just 'Stay sharp, because there's someone always ready to take away what you've fought for.'
