What good has feminism accomplished in the last twenty years?

And state HOW it's good for society...

Update:

@Dark Eyes

Who built the structure you live in? Who paved the road you drive on? Who ran the wires to your house to get the internet, and electricity? How would you explain this?

    This statement is as ridiculous as it is ignorant.

    "It's eliminated the need for women to rely on men for survival..." - really?

    Since when women had to "survive" in the last 500 years? Last i checked we're far from being extinct as a species and we live in a society not a "men VS women" or "humans VS whatevers" so that women have to "survive".

    And sorry to say but as a working man, hearing you complain about "omg the evil patriarchy is keeping me in the home and i cannot work" i only feel disgust.

    I am sick and tired of my job and would trade places with a house wife in a SECOND to get to spend time with my kids. You've had it good but then you decided "hey why not screw things up - cue feminism".

    This isn't about equality anymore - it was , maybe, in the 60s. Now it's just we WANT and you have to GIVE us because we got a vagina. And if you don't agree with this statement you're not really a feminist ( according to most feminists also not just their sick doctrine ) but a "poor misguided woman indoctrinated by the evil patriarchy". Give me a break !

    On topic:

    It managed to ruin US society. Europe seems a bit more resilient...for now.

    It's eliminated the need for women to rely on men for survival...

    EDIT: What the hell does anything you say have to do with feminism...? What? I shouldn't "use" electricity because I didn't wire it? I shouldn't use roads because I didn't pave them? I shouldn't live in structures, because I didn't build them...? Let me ask you... Did YOU do all those things????

    Nothing you mention has anything to do with me being able to educate myself, support myself, and not rely on anyone else for an income... That is what is meant when I say "survive".
