Can we also add how offensive it is to assume that women who choose family over jobs (the majority of women) are somehow being oppressed and are victims of sexism? Maybe they're happy doing that?

I never said that all women don't want careers. That's not what my citation said and that's not what I meant to say. Stay hooked on that typo though

"Feminism is pushing women into the workplace who don't want to work"

Feminism advocates for women and men choosing whatever professional paths they want... I hate when anti-feminists that don't know what they're talking about try to criticize feminism.

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 well-being, 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.

Women, since the 1970s, have reported being less happy and less overall well-being. Any interesting female social movements taken root since that specific time? Like, is it impossible to criticize feminism but we can have Hillary and feminists go around and say men need to be taught not to rape and that all men are misogynists

This doesn't show anything.... Quit nitpicking quotes from articles to back up your arguments when they don't at all relate... Even in the same paper:

This regression shows that both women who are employed and those who are not have experienced roughly similar declines in subjective well-being

You can't just blatantly blame feminism and use a source that doesn't even mention the word "feminism" once...

Gosh. Where is Giselle? I feel like we'd be able to have an adult conversation about this. Plus, our faves Sarah Palin and Omarosa have been slaying the election lately.

I might be in the minority but I find ezra's posts intriguing. It brings something different to the thread than the usual stan-type conversation, memes, and random rants with zero sources to support them. There's clearly a good segment of Americans who agree with ezra (based on Trump's resounding support) so it's interesting seeing an example of their mindset in open forum (that isn't short and messy like Twitter).

What kinda of low standards? I mean yeah we need new conversations and debates here but that person is trolling. Don't give them anymore credit than that. Those are views of the ignorant, simply put.

But WAIT.

Don't you think this could mean that the pressures feminism puts on women (having more choices does this) is causing both stay at home moms and working moms to be less happy? There's now stereotypes that stay at home moms are useless victims of sexism and also that working moms need to be more traditional moms.

Besides, women are still declining in happiness whether they work or don't. Feminism's arms reach into private at-home life as well. Regulating all sorts of things like what chores men should do and how the work should be split (likely pissing off men who come home from working and have to fight with their wives who want them to do more stuff). Idk. Seems to me that modern feminism is a social experiment that hasn't worked out the way they said it would.

I dealt with enough of those opinions in real life, though.

Yikes, maybe women continue to be unhappy because we continue to face a lot of **** just for having vaginas in 20 ****ing 16!

Mine, too. I was forced into writing a paper about my white privilege and why I'm a racist or else I'd fail the class. If even one conservative ever speaks up in class everyone blows up at them

How many former Presidents do u think will come out in support for her?
