Women are trending toward “equality” with men but at the same time their happiness is trending downward. As the women progress towards their “manhood” of accomplishments, their happiness decreases. It follows that further progress towards becoming like men, career wise or behaviorally, isn’t going to cause a sudden spike in happiness.
People don’t get happy by staring at their navels, or otherwise obsessing with themselves and their own wants and needs.
We can see that more education, more career success, more sex partners, more abortions, fewer kids, and lowered expectations of relationships with men are not associated with increased happiness. (How about Mrs. Edwards, Mrs. Clinton, Mrs. Sanford, and Mrs. Letterman….. suffering from lowered expectations, a bit?)
My recommendation for increased happiness is to drop off the last four trends from the above list. Add a recognition of the Creator and the order of creation., and put that in front of the first two items above.
Put the NOW gals out to pasture.
