Women were happier when they were raised to aspire to feminine roles of wife and mother. They're considerably less happy now trying to be like lesser versions of men.
I have a cousin whose entire childhood revolved around dolls and tea sets and all things hyperfeminine and domestic.
She managed to get herself married to a multi-millionaire businessman and has 4 children. She goes on holiday all around the world, three to five times a year. Her job is to look pretty, send kids to school, and regularly empty her husband's balls. She is very happy, her life is idyllic.
I have other cousins who went to university. One wipes old people's asses for a living, the other sits in an office cubicle typing meaningless emails and attending meaningless meetings. Both are childless and miserable.
Yes, to a head-spinning degree. She lives (and looks like) a celebrity. She is already imparting her ways on her two daughters - image is everything, fashion and style are all-important, the house must be perfect, everything must be beautiful. She would make a feminist absolutely seethe.
A girl who grew up in state accommodation with a penniless single mother on one of the poorest , nastiest, grimmest slums in the city, and all she had to do to get a multi-millionaire husband and live the high life was have every thought in her head be completely centered around absorbing what rich socialite women look like, and matching it as closely as she could.
Unfortunately I’m of an age where University became sort of obligatory (at least, where I live), so none of my cousins are like your happy one. Not a single one.
In fact, I hardly know anyone like that (although a couple of girls I went to school with may end up that way), but I can only imagine she’s probably happier and healthier than any of the rest.
Contrastingly, though, my mother slowly stopped work, in my teen years (only child), and never really got back into it. But she’s just lazy, deeply unhappy and unhealthy. She doesn’t travel. She doesn’t really go out. She doesn’t do the housework (depressingly, they usually either hire people, or, when I’m around, I do it).
So unfortunately “choosing to live off your husband’s largesse” (because I don’t think I would class her as a housewife, really) doesn’t always work out for the best, lol…
Then again, to go from practicing physician to essentially largely unemployed…. Suggests there is more going on there, obviously. Quite the opposite of your cousin, lol!
And I would argue that men are alsoinfinitely less happy as a result of the same (for all manner of reasons), unfortunately...
In general, we're probably all a bit less happy, even if the usual suspects claim we are "freer to be ourselves" (but only if you're a degenerate/useful idiot)...
the libleft concept of "freedom" is degeneracy and immorality. we are "freer" to be faggots and trannies and drug addicts and sex workers and abort babies.
"But what if I want to be a straight man, not a whore, not do drugs, and keep the baby?"
It took me up to like… Probably age 21 or so to realize this, though…
I was never “a degenerate” myself. I was more a “career activist” prior to that point. Because I thought, I suppose, that it was “the right thing to do”, or some sort of… Moral obligation.
In the end, though, I was just desperate for people to like me (which is unfortunately like, my defining personality trait). And then when I realised that, as a straight, “cis”, “huwhite” male, they were never going to like me, I sorta… Gave up on that.
I’m definitely not happier now, but at least I’m under no illusion as to where we are at. Or, for that matter, the value of false friends…
You see that recent graph of women and antidepressant use? Freaking skyrockets faster than $GME for 40+ women around 20 and doesn't look it's ever going back down.
I expect it to skyrocket for the younger age brackets as women age up and see the #CoolWineAunt lifestyle ain't all it's cracked up to be.

Sounds like femininity won bigly.

She looked the part, she got the part.
It was that simple for her.
I admire the grift then.
I would love to “embody Chad” as it were, but much though I try, I just don’t seem to be capable.
So I admire your cousin’s effort. Takes some doing.
Side note: “slum”..? Did you grow up in Asia or what?
Clearly not “the West”, by the sound of things!
It really does indeed.
Seems accurate, lol.

then liblefts have nothing to offer you.
Yes, agreed. That was essentially my point.

I learned that stuff the hard way.
Sounds like an enneagram type 2
I'm a type 8, lol.

*40+ women around 2000, you mean?
I’m a bit confused by your numbers, there, lol…
