You sound like a feminist yourself.

Feminism convinced women that marriage and family were oppresive, and that pursuing a career like a man is the path to fullfillment.

I'm all for women having choices, but not at the sacrifice of the family unit. For a woman who stays at home to raise the kids, that is a career in itself really, probably much more fullfilling than going to some boring day job....
Feminism was the great political movement of the 20th century for better or for worse. Instead of bitching about things in the conformity of the social world, women decided to go public and changed things dramatically.

In regards to the family unit, I agree that it is fundamentally one of the most important parts of the political society, but to make it a source of oppression is not the best way to sustain it.
