There are periods of backlash against any rights movement - feminism, black civil rights movements, trans rights, gay rights, etc. This is because people are invested in the systems of oppression that exist, if people are in a privileged position they don't want that to change and will fight against the idea of taking away their privilege. For example feminism fights against issues such as street harassment, queue a backlash from men who want to continue mistreating women on the street.

What were the struggles of second wave feminism?

Second-wave feminism, which emerged in the 1960s and extended into the 1980s, faced several struggles, including internal divisions over race, class, and sexuality, which sometimes marginalized the voices of women of color and LGBTQ+ individuals. Additionally, the movement encountered significant resistance from conservative groups and backlash against its goals, such as reproductive rights and workplace equality. The feminist movement also grappled with the challenge of articulating a unified agenda that addressed diverse issues affecting women across different backgrounds and experiences. Despite these struggles, second-wave feminism made significant strides in advancing women's rights and raising awareness of gender inequality.
