Let's not think of the multitudes of complex social issues that created today modern culture and blame it all on the feminists.
I'm sorry, but I'm sick and tired of people stomping over the entire women's movement because they don't agree with very small poritions of it. Feminism did not ruin family values. Don't paint such a large, long-term movement with such a wide brush.

Hey, I did say SOME. Feminism DID lead to society accepting social issues formerly considered scandalous, such as, oh, I don't know, "shacking up" (I'm not saying that couples didn't shack up before, but it surely wasn't "ok", and one surely didn't get benefits by living common law). In any case, I don't really agree with a good portion of feminism. Most of it is confusing anyway. One minute we want equality, but the next we want to be treated like ladies. If you want to be truly equal in a man's world, shouldn't you "act" like one? If we want true equality, we might as well not have women's and men's GLOs, the Junior League, DAR, IODE, and other single gendered organizations. Feminism, in some cases can be as whiney as Quebec politics.
