Many women today have it better than ever, so why are they so sad? Laura Collins analyses the epidemic of sadness.

In recent decades the lives of women in the industrialised world have improved by many objective measures. The gender wage gap, though still present, has diminished greatly. Women's educational achievements now surpass those of their male counterparts. Birth control and in vitro fertilization have given them unprecedented control over reproduction. Technological advances have freed many from domestic drudgery. In short, women never had it so good.

Yet apparently, women have never been so flipping miserable.

Women expect romantic love and marriage to be "the cure for everything". Women buy the fantasy, and the reality comes as a jarring shock. Women complicate their relationship with food - placing thinness next to godliness while believing that, whatever else is going on in our life, we are not a complete woman if incapable of rustling up a complicated dinner for friends, family, lovers, etc.

Women set their expectations sky high, then wonder that life fails to meet up to them. And when it doesn't women turn wildly, blindly, to self-help books. Women who would never dream of buying so much as a T-shirt labeled one-size-fits-all willingly look for a catch-all solution to their most complicated psychological angst. So women buy the book and buy the notion that anything is possible if we only want it enough. And when we discover that anything isn't possible, that sometimes it doesn't matter how much we want it, we just don't have the talent to become a prima ballerina at the age of 35 or craft exquisite porcelain figurines when our only previous creative achievement was a Plasticine coin-pot in kindergarten, women feel failures and miserable and wonder all over again: "Is this it?"

In short, women wanted equal freedom to men but are not biologically designed to handle the responsibilities and stress that comes with all that freedom.

I saw a TikTok the other day. Modern woman was sick of being “in the shadow” of her husband by giving up her career to be a stay at home mother. She divorced him. She then complained that as a single mother with two kids, she now has to do all the things she did before as a stay at home mother but now has to worry about working, paying bills, and earning enough money. She then broke down crying about no man wanting to date her and how much easier her life was as a wife.

Even shorter, they're spoiled.

Most women are miserable because they are idiots.... If you believe in the "patriarchy", it's as if, the patriarchy got back talked to by a bunch of loud mouth women, and the patriarchy stepped back and said, "ok, prove me wrong..." Ever since, women started to get miserable and the patriarchy just stood there being quiet and rolled his eyes thinking "take that biatch... not only have you been pumped and dumped; but you have lost your looks and nobody cares about you anymore. You don't want anymore to care for you. NOW, they really don't care for you. See, this is what you get.. Lets see if the newer generation has learned it's lesson"....

These are the things men do without question. Majority of the time it is taken for granted and not appreciated. Good for women to feel the pain of equality. ”We don’t need men”, go ahead and do it all sweetheart. But don’t come back crying when you realize the harsh reality of having to WORK and be responsible for the welfare of others without any support.

The promise of feminism has not played out well in reality for most women. Feminism is at conflict with a woman's natural femininity. Feminism is anti-femininity.

Biologically, a woman is designed to reproduce, to raise children, and to manage a household. This was happening in ancient history in the hunter-gatherer era, when women were the gatherers and did well at that. After the Industrial Revolution of the 1800s, women did a good job as more modern gatherers in managing a household, raising children, and supporting the labor of a man. The housewife role was a very valuable role in the 1800s/1900s. A smaller percentage of women entered the work force during the 1800s-1960s. When they worked, they typically worked in traditionally feminine roles which were not the highest stress roles. The highest stress white and blue collar roles during this time were all men's roles.

Working both white and blue collar jobs is stressful. Many men would have liked to have had the privilege to stay at home and fulfill the gatherer role. Additionally, the gathered/housewife role can help make a man more successful in his hunter role.

Many men (both SoSuave forum participants and other men) are finding themselves having to work both a full time labor role and manage a household. It stinks. Many women are doing the same thing now too and it's making them miserable. While men are not excited about doing both roles, it's tougher on women to do both roles since they were even less designed for doing that than men.

they're spoiled.

We've now had 3 generations (Gen X, Gen Y/Millennials, and Gen Z) in which women have been spoiled by the gynocentric social order in most Western nations. Those 3 generations have never known anything but a gynocentric social order in the West. The gynocentric social order was put into place by second wave feminists in the 1960s-1970s. Even Baby Boomer women, who might not have grown up with a gynocentric social order, have had the privilege of living the majority of their lives under a gynocentric social order which has prioritized women over men.

Most women can't have it all. She had a good thing going with her stay-at-home mom role.

There are plenty of thirsty men who would date and commit to a single mom, but they are lower quality men.

It's difficult in this era for a woman to become a wife and stay-at-mom home for a lot of reasons, even if a woman actually wanted to pursue that path.

Historically, the wisdom was that it was men who were built for such professional glory and, however outdated that may be, it lingers on. And when it comes to men, though it may not be politically correct to say this, the truth is we ask an awful lot of them. Among the many demands the modern woman places on the modern man those identified by Kindersley and Vine include that he be "...strong yet sensitive, decisive yet open minded, gentle yet determined. There must be a Good Sense of Humour". Dancing and dressing well are optional extras, but "devoutly to be wished for".

Politically incorrect because you just turned your back on the feminazis by speaking the truth. The reality is that women grow up with different social expectations. They thought for some reason that men had it better and easier. Some magical patriarchy that held women down while men thrived and had it all. The harsh truth is you have to work for things in life and sometimes you have to make sacrifices. We all know that women never know what they want because they are steered by emotions and not by logic and reason.

The author makes the at-home mom sound like a prisoner. She must be inherently miserable and dying to get out of her marriage to become a CEO. I know a lot of happy, spoiled wives driving around in fancy cars headed to brunch while their husbands are at work. I don’t think most of them would rather go to work and give up their luxuries.

Stevenson and Wolfers's study on declining female happiness points out: "The increased opportunity to succeed in many dimensions may have led to an increased likelihood of believing that one's life is not measuring up. Similarly, women may now compare their lives to a broader group, including men, and find their lives more likely to come up short in this assessment."

This concept is foreign to women as they are praised for just being alive. Men have to “measure up” from day one. Sh!t, even women themselves are guilty of this with their 600 point check list for a man to qualify. Sorry you have to make something of yourself and it requires effort. This is what you wanted. Life is not a participation trophy world, you have to work and earn your spot.

Sex is related to Love and Happiness. The latter are social fabrics.

EVERYONE is unhappy because sex is going to too many low-value guys outside of marriage.

This is because those men who can bring happiness are not being given the most respect and sex.

The reason for this is the continuing relevance of the marriage system, traditionalism, money and the conservatives.

The whole trad system of marriage wealth and traditionalism is rotten to the core.

The manosphere doesnt know ****.

You people need to wake up, respect the left, cos the right and the conservatives have no value, it is a dead-end.

How do I know this? I'm pretty sure it was the Bhrgus who created the marriage system under Jamshid. The marriage system is not so old or 'trad', It actually comes from the Chalcolithic-Bronze Age which is around 4K BC.

As a 'nice guy', who has 'value' women always saw me as a nice guy who would make a good husband, in the meantime they were all fkcing around with losers. I know that this is due to the marriage system. If the marriage system didnt exist there wouldnt be manipulation, just as if money didnt exist there cannot be fraud or scamming.

Now women have it in their head they should get something in exchange for sex, like marriage, a system of prostitution. So a quality guy they see as a good husband provider and if they cannot get that from him they will fck loser guys in the meantime.

Women just need to make sure the best guys are having the most sex, and then those guys will increase as other men will try to imitate them. Those 'best guys' are simply the ones bringing happiness to women directly or indirectly. But due to the extra layer of marriage, scamming and manipulation, the women just wants to amrry the best guy and in the meantime sleep around with losers.

The best guy can never lose sexually to losers. It is deep.

Many women today have it better than ever, so why are they so sad?

Quoting the article:
Little wonder, then, that one of the key observations made by Stevenson and Wolfers was that, "If the women's movement raised women's expectations faster than society was able to meet them, they would be more likely to be disappointed by their actual experienced lives".

Basically, high expectations more often than not end up in disappointment.

Women (and men) are trash.

Women DONT CARE which type of guy is ****ing the most women in his lifetime. They only care abot how much money or commitment (marriage) they can get from a guy.

A women doesnt care if a quality guy who can make them happy only ****s one woman his whole life who he marries, infact they are very happy if that guy only fkced one woman, and some loser guys have ****ed 100 women.

A womans responsibilty is to make sure the BEST GUYS are getting laid the most. Just like a government has to make sure the most productive workers get the most money and respest, the manager has to ensure his best players get the most respect etc.

Sex is importand and the best guys need to be getting the most. Until women and society fix this nothing is gonna work out.

The best guys need to be getting the most sex, just like the best leaders get the most fame and glory, the best workers get the most respect, the best players are most respected etc.

It aint got fckall to do with marriage, being a good father, paying your biolls, conservatives, trad etc its all irrelevant.

All these people are too pathetic and weak to call it out. They are all too afraid to call women out on it.

Nothing can progress until THE GAME is fixed and the best is getting the most.

For sure I am gonna be telling any women I marry I expect them to bring me other women to fck cos if I am a good husband who made them happy why shoudnt I be fcking more women than some players out there. They need to make sure I am fcking the most women If I am the best guy who made them happy. If I am the best guy and I am not fkcing the most women then sex can have no value then I will simply not indugle in sex or romance with my wive(s)

No they don't. Women can only be happy when they're with a superior man that leads them to happiness.
