Such a big topic. The feminists 60 years ago were complaining that women were unhappy because they were isolated in the suburbs, not allowed to go to college and not allowed to have careers. None of that was true. But they presented women as terribly oppressed. And, of course the women were taking uppers and downers to get through their days. The Rolling Stones sang about “Mother’s little helper”.

Just forward to today, women are all miserable and oppressed. Their domestic life isn’t happy, their work life isn’t happy, and they are all taking Prozac or something similar because they are so depressed.

My feeling is that a lot of women today are genuinely miserable.
My feeling is that women 60 years ago were mostly quite happy with being housewives.
I think the feminists created a world of unhappy women by spreading a myth that women were unhappy and that feminism would make them happy. All lies.

This is a good book:
Domestic Tranquility: A Brief Against Feminism by Graglia, F. Carolyn. It shows that women had careers, ran businesses, went to college and did all sort of stuff prior to 1960 — if they wanted to do those things. Most of the women preferred to focus on marriage and kids and were happy in that choice. Then society started steering women away from that choice.
