Women's Rights in the Seventies

So in the seventies, so you started to put forward the case for children, and to some degree as well, simultaneously the case for fathers. And you received a fair bit of resistance as a consequence of that. What was the conflict though? Was it that the the women who were being appealed to by now wanted untrammelled freedom of choice for them under all circumstances? The reason i'm asking is because if you have children, obviously half the children you have are female. And you'd assume that if it was a matter of of women's opening up, what would be best for women in any kind of medium to long term manner, that the concerns about daughters would be paramount
