Well hopefully it won’t keep going up right

[FilmGuy93]

Lots of pressure to perform in life, combined with the horrible realization that they can't "have it all" and that most of the things they thought would make them happy (careers) have left them with a bland taste in their mouths.

I don't have any trouble understanding why women are getting increasingly mad. I feel like I would be pretty pissed too, if I spent my whole like being told I could have a great life if I trade my best years away to work my ass off, and then realizing that it was all for an illusion.

[Asker]

Yeah that may be true unfortunately but what else are you supposed to do then… I’m not saying pursuing a career is everything but what is your purpose and meaning of life, I suppose you’re thinking they should have focused on being good wives & mothers which some do but wouldn’t have they the same impression, that was the previous illusion, unless you’re thinking about spending your best years as doing whatever you want but realistically you also need money so I’m not sure there is an easy equation here. And also how can one assume you’re gonna meet the love of your life in your 20s… my mother was consumed by some pressure to have a career and this was not good at all for us so maybe that comes from the previous generation too I dunno

[FilmGuy93]

It's not that I think the women should be focused on becoming wives and mothers, it's that they shouldn't be focused on career in place of interpersonal relationships. In fairness, that's advice I also give to men. I can't tell you how many women I've known over the years who "want to focus on their careers" but only ever end up becoming mid level management at some bullshit gig that takes them for granted, while the guy they had their sights set on (but they didn't date because their career needed to come first) goes on and finds someone new.

I'm sorry man... that sucks. Career is not worth focusing on, unless you have a definite thing lined up. Relationships are the most important part of life.

[Asker]

Yeah I agree… I think the whole society puts too much emphasis on career and, well, money, and it’s detrimental for both men and women but probably even more so for women because this is further away from our nature and what we would be truly good at

[FilmGuy93]

I think you are probably right about that. Nobody wants to admit it, but women do a lot of things for male validation as well… And I think a lot of young girls were sold on the idea that becoming empowered was how you became more desirable. It would be tough to realize that things you based your life on turned out to not be true. I have a great deal of sympathy for modern women.

[exitseven]

A lot of people will take offense with this but it is mostly true.

[Lionman95]

Could it be a general rise of stress? Covid was a long on going pandemic, there is a world wide inflation. Environmental issues are probably world wide on the news. People generally get anxious because no knows what the future brings.

But not only in politics also in terms of relationships people have a harder time of finding a partner. Many people jump from partner to partner. That definetely has an impact on your hormones. We also live in a time where it seems like perfection is necessary to be seen on social media. The general fear of missing out might lead people to unhealthy diets and lifestyles.

I don´t want to sound sexist but I think that women can predict insecure or dangerous situations better than guys and therefore show a stronger reactions to those.

[Asker]

Very good point

[A_Bell]

Third-wave feminism has fooled women into thinking being men would make them happy, but it completely goes against our biology. Working outside the home and providing for a household was never what human females were supposed to do.

For whatever reason, the only thing that is valued by feminists is how many CEOs have periods. They have villainized the desire to raise families and work with men to raise a family in a traditional environment.

Then, we are also told to give away our virtue as if that benefits us in some way instead of just cheapening us all and devaluing the meaning of intimacy.

We should be furious.

[A_Bell]

Hey look, two dislikes. I love being controversial.

[Asker]

I don’t know everyone blames feminism but I never met a ‘feminist’ in my life so as far as I’m concerned it’s more of an ideology, how much it affects women is not clear

[Asker]

I definitely don’t feel like I’ve been ‘fool to be a man’ but gender roles are blurred now and we don’t feel like we have to be a housewives basically

[jennifer_bloom]

I believe liars have anger management issues and society is becoming increasingly supportive to women who lie and fake their way into respect and love. This is due to the judgmental nature of men who seek to punish those that are honest about their flawed.

[BeMuse]

They are lonely and are going stir-crazy. Women lose their shit when they are lonely and isolated. You had COVID lock downs in recent years. Fear porn propaganda drama was promoted by the media full force telling people to stay away from other people. This obviously fucks with women's psychology. They become distressed, irritable, and restless. Notice how men's anger has gone down. This is because they have less women causing problems for them. The less men have to deal with women's shit the more chill we are.

[BeMuse]

You notice how men always need space when they "get angry" and women always want to "talk about it" and need intimacy. When women fill men up with too much anger, men need to get the fuck away from women until some of that shit drains away. When women get angry, they need someone to emotionally abuse by dumping their anger on them as they pitch the bitch. This is also why married men die before married women. Women constantly put their negative emotions on their partner.

[BeMuse]

If women are alone and have no one to abuse, then their anger builds and builds until they pop...

[BeMuse]

[Asker]

Mmmh okay i get the message I think :/ I think I read somewhere married men were much healthier and happier or something though…

[BeMuse]

Was that study written by women? You think they might be a little bias? Life expectancy of men in the USA is 73.2 years where as for women it is 79.1 years. Then you look at a man like Dick Proenneke who lived in a cabin he built with his own hands in the middle of the wilderness of Alaska to live alone for 30 years in the harshest conditions in America and he made it to 87 all alone.

[Asker]

Do you really want to be alone though 😕 are women that bad

[BeMuse]

I didn't say women are bad. They do come at a cost to our health though. Women and children are major stressors for men as is our work which we often get tied to if we have to support a family. Stress is a killer. I'm just's pointing out the anger situation. When women are alone they get mad. When men are alone, we're generally pretty stable and happy. There is an epidemic of loneliness, reduced marriage rates, reduced fertility rates, etc. and this makes women irritable. Men in contrast have less stressors so we are less angry. For civilization to continue on, generally men have to carry the burden. That's how it's always been.

[Asker]

Believe it or not but I think I understand cause my mum was going hysterical or crazy on me and the automatic reaction I had was to become much calmer and focused, to withstand the storm sort of, like an opposite reaction. Yes comes at a cost… and yes women have to be happy for men to be happy so in the end men do end up having to deal with whatever issues women have cause they can’t just self isolate they would be unhappy themselves

[BeMuse]

Yep women often try to listen and be empathetic. They often enjoy drama. It’s like a puzzle they want to solve or a challenge situation they want to be in control of. For some reason it’s exciting to them. It’s probably why they like watching serial killer movies, cop car chases, romantic dramas, listening to their friends relationship problems, etc. Women need their family around them. Women need to be in a relationship. Women need to have kids. Women need to get out and do things with other people, they are generally more flighty. They always want to travel or go somewhere sporadically. I think it’s because they depend on others and the outside world for excitement and entertainment and release of stress. They dump their emotions on others. Sometimes those are good emotions, other times they are bad emotions.

[BeMuse]

Honestly as a man I have never been unhappy alone. I don't ever feel lonely, it's just relaxing and I have a lot of time to pursue my interests. I need time away from people to recharge and think. Women are a mixed bag sometimes they are fun and other times they are a pain in the ass. So long as it seems like more good than bad then they are worth being around. But this is probably why a lot of men need to hang out with the boys and have a beer before they go home from work, they need to go outside and mow the law and trim the bushes on a weekend, are working on something in the garage, etc. because they have to escape other people, their wife and kids to bring down the stress levels. This is why men take up hobbies like woodworking, going fishing, etc.

[RedPassion95]

Just fucking jump off a cliff

[BeMuse]

@RedPassion95 hahaha so your suicidal. You know they hotlines for that.

[BeMuse]

@CA4444 See RedPassion95 is a perfect example of a drama queen. She bored and lonely, so she's trying to start a fight.

[Agape93]

Women's rights are under attack in the USA.

In Ukraine we have mass rapes, kidnappings and murders.

In Iran we had mass arrests of protesters looking for basic rights to not wear head coverings, some of whom died.

Etc.

[Msputiton]

Well I guess it's a mystery

[Asker]

i see your point - so women waking up to their misery

[Pegases]

What womens rights in America are under attack?

[Agape93]

Abortion, with proposals from several GOP lawmakers to limit contraception or ban it, and ban travel out of state for pregnant women.

[Pegases]

I have heard about the abortion bans. That's very unfortunate. Banning pregnant women from going out of state must be in line with the abortion laws I imagine. I'm sorry to hear that.

[Agape93]

Appreciate it. It's getting nonsensical over here.

[Anonymous]

Well I’ve heard we as men get happier as we get older because our wealth has had time to build up. Whether that’s savings, or higher pay in current jobs. Because when you’re younger as a man a lot of times you’re judged by your wealth as far as your worth, especially by women. Women on the other hand especially the ones who have this attitude of I don’t need a man, focus to much on their careers. By the time they hit their late 20’s, early 30’s they realize they’re miserable cause they aren’t married, don’t have kids or even a partner. I know it’s not true of every female cause I haven’t dated everyone of them, but the ones I’ve been w or had in my life they just always seemed to be unhappy regardless of what was done for them.

[boggboss]

Current state of the world would be my first option turn on the news and the masses are being fed that this is the most dangerous time we are living I with people the most racist or sexist or homaphobic so it's not surprising that many out there are angry just look at the cost of living for example I know nobody happy with how shit going on

[Asker]

Yeah agree, but still weird isn’t it

[boggboss]

I would only see it that way if its not somthing I see as people in power trying to aim for

[Asker]

Mmmh… results could be skewed with a few countries also like China or India so possible

[boggboss]

I agree somthing like this could never be done objectively for the whole world

[Anonymous]

Women compare themselves to other women 24 hours a day on social media and they are always trying to compete and it's making them frustrated.

[Asker]

Yeah I actually think this might be a reason with increase usage of social media platforms like tiktok during covid

[Opinion Owner]

Yeah everyone online is presenting a glorified version of their lives (Bragging) and posting filtered images and showing off their families and vacations and concerts and other events they go to. Jealousy and frustration is at an all time high. I have a teenager who doesn't even want to date because it's too hard to compete these days. That's a sad reality.

[Emiliamazing]

This is a really good opinion/post. Well, some relationships grew stronger during Covid, I'm sure some lagged. The constant bombardment of media really doesn't make any of us happier. I think it's become harder to find positivity in the world.

[Opinion Owner]

@Emiliamazing
That's true, I don't dare watch day time television either if I want to stay in a good mood. Those panel talk shows like the View and the Social are nothing but complaining.

[Anonymous]

Well there you have it; sitting around in your underpants playing xbox makes men less angry but has no effect what so ever on women.

This is presumably why women are always saying they can't see the appeal and that men should go and get a job or something.

Omg I literally can't get a job, the entire world has been closed down.

All the nagging women in my life aren't allowed in my house anymore.

FREEDOM!!

[AimeeKyle]

Usually due to trying to be everything to everyone…. both personally and professionally. Too much constant stress….. all self induced.

[Asker]

Born to please 🤘lol..

[ArtemisSilver]

Probably has something to do with their higher-than-ever labor participation rate and the fact that they are now more likely to graduate uni than would-be potential mates.

Nothing like having to grind as a wagie in the age of wild currency devaluation.

[nawtee_me]

It is the holiday season and women are making plans and things are not going as planed and they are more angry than the men are about it….

[Asker]

🤣😅😅tahts exactly me….

[nawtee_me]

Calm down and take a breath, maybe a drink…. lol.

[Asker]

Thanks ☺️ I think I need to make peace with my wallet emptying itself it’s okay…

[nawtee_me]

I hope to talk to you before then but if not, then merry Christmas

[Asker]

Thank you to you too 😁 (but as you said hopefully we can celebrate later on)

[Berethor]

Because of feminism, no matter how much they get from men, they always want more.

[Asker]

But has feminism really took over in recent years? This is a global pool with women from all over the world and from all ages

[Berethor]

It did at least in the west, feminism would die out because of demography but it not yet.

www.washingtonpost.com/.../

[Asker]

Japan 😨 damn need to visit soon

[dustybiker]

I think a lot of people confuse an assertive woman as being angry.

[Asker]

Yeah also anger can be justified. But anyway thsi pool was about how people felt I guess

[TheSpaceGnome]

A few minutes in photoshop and I can reverse that poll and make up some story about how experts say women are getting happier.

Stop believing everything you see on the internet.

[Anonymous]

Because men insist on trying to push us into a corner all the time.

[artzsophie]

These charts honestly seem like nonsense since they are on such a binary.

[inhua]

feminism told them to be angry so they followed their advice into misery

[slatyb]

Probably that difference is all from women in the US teaching to Dobbs.

[collie22]

I have better control of my anger , I learning my triggers

[Asker]

What are your triggers 👀?

[collie22]

Well the worst is being reminded of the awful stuff my mom would do. I'm not freaking out saying this.

[LiamJHayden]

For a lot, they are probably getting frustrated with being told that they have to live up to absurdly unrealistic beauty standards.

[pizzalovershouse]

To many hormones added to food or not eating healthy

[Asker]

Hormones and food are worrying yeah

[pizzalovershouse]

Yep they do

[Alex8736]

does it State a reason why? and is that source credible?

[Asker]

Yeah I think so. Well it stated covid…

[Alex8736]

are you angry? you don't look it

[Asker]

Generally I am not, I have moments when I am.

[Alex8736]

would it be fair to say frustrated instead of anger where everyone regardless of gender has ups and downs where to err is human?

[LimitedBenefits101]

Feminist and other women

90% of women surveyed have felt mean and negative 'undercurrents' from other women

[Cubus]

Feminism tells women that showing anger means you are strong, which is a lie.

[moonpie89]

Haha I'm rarely angry. I'm usually calm or annoyed but not angry

[Farmerboy2]

You are women. Do you feel you are becoming an angrier person?

[Asker]

Not really but I’m not sure tbh

[Farmerboy2]

Only you can answer that

[Asker]

I can’t speak for 4 bn women lol we’re all connected but still 😅

[Farmerboy2]

Do I sense some hostility?

[Asker]

I wanted to ask a general question not make it about me 😅

[RedPassion95]

We're tired of mens bull shit. See below me.

[Anonymous]

Equality. They're getting a taste of what life as a man is like.🤣🤣🤣

[Jennz6]

Don’t like being dominated by men

[Nomina]

I have thoughts but...😂😏

[linka_pat307]

Frustrated and can be a sign of periods

[Bklynbadboy12]

Yes they definitely are and for no reason

[MrHopper]

Men...

[Anonymous]

More testosterone in their diet
