This is a good opportunity to discuss (one of) feminism's many
ideological shortcomings.  For now, I'm going to discuss
the notion that more choices, by definition, is necessarily good.

On the contrary, psychologists recently showed that more choices,
even when it may result in improved conditions (such as more
choices in cell phone plans) result in confusion and dissatisfaction
and worry over whether the person is making the right choice.

But that doesn't really matter here.  This may surprise Hyerdahl1 to
hear,
but most women are heterosexual and do not desire lesbian
marriage. (surprise surprise.)  Feminism resulted in the choice
for women to make more money on their own apart from men, but
for most women who desire heterosexual relationships, it really
just "evened" things out.  Men earned, by definition, less than
they had compared to women and this limited women's ability to
marry up.  So feminism really didn't help most women find their
personal happiness.

It didn't help much with equality either.  The only way to "even
the playing field" is to give preferences making the term
largely meaningless similar to women golfers teeing off
50 years downfield.  What honest person can take it seriously?
It's not wonder that feminists are always angry that men and
society don't recognize such accomplishments.

Anyway, back to choices: Heterosexual women are certainly not jumping
with joy over the prospect of lesbian marriage or childbearing anymore
than marrying a guy who earns only as much as they do.  In the long
run, it doesn't work for women.  Since it has never worked for men
either, it's days are numbered.  (Although, have I mentioned,
I do get FOUR MORE YEARS!!! :-)
