Yes, all societies see the divorce rate (and therefore the number of single parents) skyrocket shortly after their women's lib movement. That's because women are no longer forced by safety or economical considerations to stay in abusive, stifling or simply miserable relationships. I would argue that this is generally a good thing.

Ah, science fiction. I would also argue that this scenario is orders of magnitude better than today's truth: that women in the military
are more likely to be raped by fellow male soldiers than to die at the hand of the enemy.
I have attended unisex saunas, which are common in some parts of the world (you know, for the purpose of relaxing in a steam room and enjoying a hot bath, not to get laid) and felt infinitely more comfortable-not sad at all- being naked in a general indifference than if the men present had been looking at me and, um, reacting.
