However, many federal laws ( e. g. those equalizing pay, employment, education, employment opportunities, credit, ending pregnancy discrimination, and requiring NASA, the Military Academies, and other organizations to admit women ), state laws ( i. e. those ending spousal abuse and marital rape ), Supreme Court rulings ( i. e. ruling the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment applied to women ), and state ERAs established women's equal status under the law, and social custom and consciousness began to change, accepting women's equality.

By the early 1980s, it was largely perceived that women had met their goals and succeeded in changing social attitudes towards gender roles, repealing oppressive laws that were based on sex, integrating the " boys ' clubs " such as Military academies, the United States armed forces, NASA, single-sex colleges, men's clubs, and the Supreme Court, and illegalizing gender discrimination.
