One of these things has literally never happened and the other barely exists. So, how is it the new norm, again?

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 |
Your problem is with absolutism, ezra, noT feminism.

Wait. I just saw this glowing review  Slowly but surely, the Trumpers will win this and save America. I can feel it.

I never said all women don't want careers either. Just that it looks like a majority (i.e. not ALL) of women don't pursue work in the same way as men when given the choice.

Child, WHAT? We can't pursue work in the same manner as our male counterparts in the workforce because there is discrimination against us. Discrimination in which cripples us from equal pay, opportunity for career growth, and RESPECT among a few things.
Ex: "Is she emotionally sound enough, to handle a position of this caliber?" Feeding off the stigma of women being overly emotional and that we're incapable of controlling our emotions. Sure, we have a way of letting our feelings drive matters, but not all women do that and in some scenarios, it isn't a bad thing. Don't lecture us about the work ethic of majority of women in the workforce. We bust our asses, working twice as hard for only half the credit of a male college doing similar work.
The "Good Ol' Boy Network" is very much real. Too often are we passed up for promotions to some man with lesser experience, education, and work ethic. And not just any man, but a white man. My last work environment infuriated me. I worked my ass off as a Senior Recruiter for our staffing firm and was constantly passed up for lateral movement instead. What infuriated me more was having to brief the man that received the promotion and even do mop up work when he failed miserably. It's not just being a female that's hard, but being a BLACK female. It's a double minority problem we have to cross. FACT. Most offices would collapse without the support of women doing the work that we do.

Hillary wants to bring tens of thousands of these people to America. Make sure you tell her we don't want that!
Vote for Trump |
Muslim refugee rapes a woman, we should contemplate ceasing all acceptance of every refugee seeking asylum? For every muslim who rapes a woman, 3 white men domestically, have done the same. Should we deport or segregate white men from the rest of the population? It is asinine to condemn an entire religion or race for the actions of some. Never is it okay to do so. When you let hate and bigoted views such as that prevail, we have loss at the game of life.

Oh and if y'all didn't watch tonight's, "White House Correspondence," YOU MISSED OUT.
Some great lines:
Obama to Reince Priebus: “Congratulations on all your success. The Republican party, the nomination process. It’s all going great.Keep it up
Obama: "Next year someone else will be standing here in this spot, and it's anyone's guess who she will be." #WHCD
"There's one area where Donald's experience could be invaluable, and that's closing Guantanamo. Because Trump knows a thing or two about running waterfront properties into the ground."
Obama on Trump: "The guy wanted to give his hotel business a boost, and now we're praying that Cleveland makes it through July." #WHCD
"We've got the bright new face of the Democratic Party here tonight, Mr. Bernie Sanders! Bernie, you look like a million bucks. Or to put it in terms you'll understand, you look like 37,000 donations of $27 each."
"I am a little hurt that you're distancing yourself from me, Bernie. That's not something you do to your comrade."
"In my final year, my approval ratings keep going up. The last time I was this high, I was trying to decide on my major."
"I see Mike Bloomberg. Mike, a combative, controversial New York billionaire is leading the GOP primary and it's not you. That has to sting a little bit. Although it's not an entirely fair comparison between you and the Donald. After all, Mike was a big city mayor, he knows policy in-depth. And he's actually worth the amount of money that he says he is."
"Hillary trying to appeal to young voters is like your Aunt signing up for Facebook."
MY FAVORITE:
Obama: "If this material works well, I'm gonna use it at Goldman Sachs next year. Earn me some serious Tubmans."

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

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.

Something different than stan-type rants with zero sources? No, that's literally a perfect description of what he's been posting.  (sources that don't actually relate to the claim at hand obviously don't count)
