What a heavy price they paid for their liberation.
THIS ^.
Another poster mentioned the bitterness/shock feminists suffer when they realize, too late, what they have missed in the way of genuine happiness, which is built on our personal relationships, and especially the "permanence" of that, meaning, of course, family. Marriage and motherhood fulfill in the way nothing else can -- no job, no profession, no pets.
Marriage and motherhood also sanctify the way nothing else can.
What I have seen in my own life, among female friends (including many non-practicing Catholics), is a preference for long-term fornication/co-habitation over marriage and motherhood. Initially, these women justified and rationalized their state as being "just as good" or "very much like" marriage. But what has happened is that they have neither emotional security nor financial security. While living with their lovers, they have had to struggle financially, as the men naturally felt no particular legal or moral obligation to support them. (I wonder why.)

They have pursued jobs, professions, areas of accomplishment, but essentially have nothing lasting. There's a bereft quality to these friends of mine, who have only the euphemistic "long-term companion" description to their reality.
