I'm not well versed on the movements but the little I have read is not good. It does seem like the roots of it go back to the anti-god humanist enlightenment influences though. In the US culture it seems like we just value masculine traits over the feminine and the feminist movement is more of a reaction to that. I have long thought that the modern model for a free woman looks more like a douche man that most men don't respect. What makes it even worse is the disdain for what makes the feminine different. We are made whole when we have both and value both.

Very convenient timing that right when the US was moving off the gold standard, and 1970s inflation was about to kick in, that a CIA agent was telling women it was a good to have a 2-person working household.
