My thoughts, what are yours?
I think its because women’s role as the natural nurturers are being reversed as they take on male dominated jobs. Women’s roles have been, in the past, to take care of the housework and to raise the children while the men were the sole bread winners. The fact that women are now in the work place, means they are spending less time with their kids and less time at home which doesn’t mesh with their natural “maternal instinct.” Also, women, though they want their “equal rights” with men, are used to men being the ones to earn more money than they and to go out earning it which is in line to the primitive “hunter” role of the male. When women earn more than their husbands, share house hold responsibility, and share in “diaper changing” the male is seen as less Alpha and more of a Beta male, hence, women become depressed because psychologically they are more inclined to be “submissive” and let the man take the lead in terms of finances and “hunting-gathering.” In addition, some women don’t trust men with “household duty” because it was traditionally attributed to women. Hence, some women may take on both roles simultaneously. The pressure of women to achieve in the job market also puts more burden on the females to “switch roles” in terms of dating and relationships. Traditionally, men were the ones to pay for dates and make the first flirting initiation, but earning more money, having equal rights with men, etc. is causing men (and women) to argue that maybe women should pay for dates, or initiate in flirting, this may cause more stress to women because it breaks from the traditional norm. We can also look at the “types” of jobs that lead to women’s unhappiness. Perhaps, jobs that were more suited for women because they offered other compensation (at the expense of lower wages) such as “maternal leave” are less pursued for jobs with higher wages that were more designated for men. This could lead to unhappiness because even though they get paid more than men, their compensation package doesn’t align to their maternal role in the household. Also, the dominance of females in the HR field controls the gender entrance into the job world, which should also be scrutinized. These all may seem like particular and very specific small factors, but they might contribute to women unhappiness. How about men? Are they happy to spend more time with the children? Counter-intuitively, I would say yes, yes they are, though diaper changing might not be our cup of tea.

Its an article I stumbled upon, obviously a study done, and this comment was my response to the article for what might be the cause of "woman unhappiness." Because the f.ucking article was on woman unhappiness, not because I assume all women are unhappy. "Diaper changing" is in parenthesis to let the reader know, that I'm not just talking about diaper changing, but the overall role of raising offspring. DO I really need to break all this f.ucking s.hit down for you people? seriously.

Another study shows that women are being taught that they can "do without men" and that divorces favor women over men, the higher earnings combined with custody rights, plus child support, etc etc. Yet another study says that feminism actually has a reverse impact on what it claims to do, yet another study shows gender bias in schools causes girls to outperform boys. Again, these are articles I read and find interesting to relay back to GAG, links will be posted so you can check them out
