The Paradox of Declining Female Happiness (PDF)

Abstract:

By many objective measures the lives of women in the United States have improved over the past 35 years, yet we show that measures of subjective well-being indicate that women’s happiness has declined both absolutely and relative to men. The paradox of women’s declining relative well-being is found across various datasets, measures of subjective wellbeing, and is pervasive across demographic groups and industrialized countries. Relative declines in female happiness have eroded a gender gap in happiness in which women in the 1970s typically reported higher subjective well-being than did men. These declines have continued and a new gender gap is emerging − one with higher subjective well-being for men.

My thoughts on this...

Women are hardwired to be family oriented... Take care of the kids, home etc.... While men are hardwired to be providers, hunters, craftsmen, problem solvers.

Men’s role hasn’t changed much hence why we are “happier”. Where women have been now forced into the workplace (or they chose it) and they are missing what they are hard wired to do.

Generally men that stay at home to take care of the family are not happy, they feel unfulfilled.

This is just my opinion on this with no science background.

Oh the horror!! Women are not happy.

Me personally? Who cares. They have everything and are still unhappy. Cry me a river.

Modern feminism teaches women to be miserable.

Meh maybe it's declining. honestly think trying to have it all and joining us in workplace hasn't helped. Neither has sleeping around, divorce rates rising, kids without a dad...

BUT women being unhappy and dissatisfied goes all the way back to Adam and Eve :p

The only paradox is the failure of the authors to consider that modern women need modern feminism like the proverbial fish on a bicycle. The raw data tell the story, the acid test. After several decades of feminist moral and lifestyle leadership, women are less happy than they used to be.

And yet we now see far more aggressive teaching of feminism as fact in our schools and colleges, and our national media accepting feminist doctrine as the baseline for human behaviour, and ethical discourse. OMG. It's clearly not working, so lets just do it even more!

Feminism inspires feminine selfish hate, was never about productive or co-operative lifestyle to begin with. Hate leads to anger, teeth grinding, etc. in the backstage.

When control of things are gone to women, they will have to lean to deal with it.

Women are now more allowed to report unhappiness, which is why they report more unhappiness. Ignore self-reporting, and women are clearly happier now, not counting the economic degradation which affects men more strongly than women.
