To clarify, I do agree that wages should be increasing more to match inflation, but that really has nothing to do with the women's rights movement. There are still loads of single income households, and the increase in double income households is largely a RESULT of worse wages, not the cause of it.
Also, when you say that "with so many women working now, less men have the chance of finding a really good job (since there's more competition)", I don't really see that as a disadvantage. If a woman is more qualified for a job than a man is, she should get the job. I don't understand how choosing the most qualified applicants for jobs, regardless of gender, is a bad thing. Yes, this might mean that fewer women can be housewives, but a lot of women don't want to be housewives. Also, some men want to be home makers, too, so that opens up chances for them to do that.
