I look at it this way.... Are we Better or Worse off TODAY than we were prior to the Women's Sufferage Movement gaining traction in the early part of the 20th Century? Technologically we are immensely superior, but socially and societally I would suggest that we are incalculably inferior to the society that existed prior to the Women's Sufferage and then Femistm movements of hte 20th Century.
If by "we," you mean controlling MEN who are incapable of thinking beyond the 12th century where women and women's rights are concerned, obviously you and the rest of that regressive group aren't better off than you were prior to the Woman's Rights Movement which began in the 19th century. Sorry (not really), I have no sympathy for guys who would prefer than women be nothing more than unpaid house servants, cooks, laundresses, and baby makers.
However, women are much better off since we gained the right to attend college, enter the trades and professions so any woman could earn her own living, and of course to VOTE. That means that each woman can decide for herself what kind of life SHE wants to have, rather than have some arrogant male control freak making her life choices FOR her. I think it is safe to say that most women, myself included, do NOT want to spend their entire lives as some man's unpaid domestic servant.
