"According to the United States General Social Survey, women’s overall level of happiness has dropped since 1972."

Not long after I was born. Figures.

Women LIKE men who will provide for them, take care of them, and make the big decisions.

Feminism is robbing them of that.

Whenever I heard a woman say; “I’ve never been happier”, it usually meant she isn’t.

Female happiness is directly linked to liberal promotion of men as the evil sex.

Female and male happiness, provided they are heterosexual, is dependent on finding a suitable member of opposite sex to fall in love with.

But if women are constantly being brainwashed to hate men or feel guilty about loving masculine men, then women are going to stay unhappy.

Women are the victims of their own runaway femininity and the oppression of masculinity.

The problem is they have made it worse for all the rest of it.

If the mommy isn’t happy - nobody is happy.

American women are at low ebb right now, and it’s their own fault. With so many, selfishness runs amok, it’s all about them, never about anyone else. And that’s where they feel the conflict, because they aren’t built that way naturally. The MSM has been as negative for American women as the Democrat Party has been for American blacks.

If women would just be who they are and not try to be someone they are not they would be happy. Be yourself, strive for success, don’t bow to what is out there. Don’t listen to all the garbage that is spewed in advertising about all these products who say you will be young again. We age. We all age. It is the natural way of life. You can botox 7 days a week all year long but your INSIDES will still be the way they are due to the natural process of aging. Women need to be healthy and fit. That means eating food and junk too. Exercising to keep themselves fit and healthy but doing it for YOURSELF and NO ONE ELSE.
I think everyone should strive to look nice, be healthy and fit but if you are not like the mag covers and the make up ads and all that other nonesense...so what? I wonder what all those beauties look like before they have ten people doing their hair and makeup.
I wish women woul like themselves for who they are. Stop trying to please everyone else and stop trying to look like everyone else. Be yourself. Do your own thing and all the right things for yourself and then everything else will fall into place. You WILL be happy for all the right reasons. Stop letting others tell you how you should look, dress and behave. Behave like you know you should, dress the way you know you should and look confident. Don’t let anyone else run your life. It is YOUR life and it is here and gone before we know it. So, be yourself. You couldn’t ask to be anyone better than that. :) Be happy :)

Young women are seeking a new message—one that embraces femininity, acknowledges that there are sex differences and values the role of women as mothers...

Um, that's an old message. Tried and true.

My observation as one who is older: A lot of men of that generation (they mention 1972) were happy to step away from the roles of providing, taking care of, or being “men”. A lot of so-called feminists were/are women who stepped up and took on the role of supporting their families. I’m not convinced it was a choice in many cases.

Women used to live significantly longer than men too, that gap has shrunken dramatically.

Happiness comes from sacrifice, not possession.
Happiness is a consequece, not a goal.

Feminism is not really about women, but a mere vehicle designed by radicals to undermine the family, the morals, and the established order of American society in order to ripen it for the attempted Communist coup we are currently experiencing. The women who fell for any part of this nonsense were mere “useful idiots”, as were the men who went along.

Of course they're not happier. Feminism has defeminized them. They're no longer special, they're treated just like guys. Add to that feminists are always telling them how bad their lives are, eventually the message sinks in. Women aren't the problem, as usual liberalism in the form of feminism is.

As the age of Obama drags on I suspect everyone's happiness level will decline, and everyone will be scratching their heads wondering why.

Maybe because we are taxed to death, forcing many of us to go to work instead of stay home and raise our children? If my taxes weren’t so insane, my husband and I could live well on his income. I could stay home with my son instead of working full time. I love my job, but the stress of being full time mommy, wife and employee gets to me sometimes.

Go to a dance class for kids. The teacher will instruct the girls to step to the left. All the girls will step to the left and will generally feel accomplilshment at doing the step correctly. The teacher will instruct the boys to step to the right. Some of the boys will immediately push, shove, and stomp each others feet.

Females tend to feel more comfortable following instructions. In many traditional female roles, following instructions is an advantage. One’s mother can probably give good advice on to rock a baby to sleep, for example.

But the modern mass media has taken advantage of women’s natural tendency to follow instructions. Here are approximate conversations I’ve had with women that just leave me thinking “I don’t think like that.”

Woman: I spend hours each day thinking about how fat I am. The media put such pressure on women to be thin.

Me: So ignore the media.

Woman: it’s not that easy!


Woman: It’s a pain to wear high heels every day, but I have to do that where I work.

Me: Do any of the women in your office wear flats?

Woman: Some of them, yes.


Woman: If you are a woman and don’t want kids, people act like you are a bad person.

Me: So ignore those people. It’s your life.

Woman: But the pressure is so great! It’s hard.


I am not trying to bash women here. These were all good people who I was happy to have as friends. None of these women were hurting anyone but themselves.

Older women sometimes develop the attitude that they aren’t going to worry so much about trying to follow other people’s instructions. I suspect these women are often very happy.
