Why are conservative women happier than liberal women? And why are married women happier?

Also, why were women happier decades ago since they were less equal?

I did the whole career mom thing and it sucked. Even tho i still work because i enjoy being productive i love having a financially supportive man who is with me every step of the way.

Haha seems like being strong and independent did more harm than good to women

They had their job. It was at home. But some woman wanted more.

If they are that much happier then why do so many of them have such sour and unpleasant attitudes?

BRUUH

@ViciDraco Conservatives might be more grumpy. I can definitely believe that. Not more depressed tho.

Are they ?

Were they ?

Some women desire to be traditional wives. They prefer not having the responsibilities of finance and career.
And if their husband is a good man - then it all works out . They play their respective roles for the betterment of their relationship.

However.....this [b]isnt [/b] always the case .

Many women were, and are abused, controlled, neglected etc in all ways from financial, through emotional to physical.
Some in so much fear they dare tell no-one.

We can all find stats that support our ideals.

But as far as i know....world wide, marriage, and living together is a losing trend.
As is having kids .

Marriage seems not so well suited to this new age🤷

Marriage can be a wonderful thing - so can traditional roles.

But its like capitalism or socalism.... they are ideals that have betterment in mind - yet look how they worked out.
It only takes someone to take advantage of an ideal - to fuck it up for the other 🫤

@OogieBoogie I'm less concerned with people being traditional wives and traditional husbands, and more so about just BEING husbands and wives for starters. Marriage is dying, and that's why I think the world is in darkness. I really believe that, and i'm not being hyperbolic. I can go into why I think this if you'd like.

I really think everyone who isn't a total reprobate shoold have one person who can look at them and say "you're mine, i'm yours, we love each others, and we will fight for each other". I think unless we get a world where most people can get this (like they could back in the day), we are going to continue living in the dystopia we live in.

@BRUUH it would be lovely.

But it takes two aware souls to achieve this 🤷

Awoken souls are becoming rare🫤

@OogieBoogie That it does.

But it also is helped by a large support system. It's INSANE to me that we don't know our neighbors, even tho we are supposed to. I feel like our biology doesn't map onto modern society, and we are seeing every consequence of it. We are a social species in an increasingly a-social world.

That is why i'm trying to be the change I wish to see. I am here for people, no matter what. This includes YOU, oogieboogie, and any other user reading this. I value the ppl in my life, even my online life, and take the fact that we crossed paths seriously. You need anything, literally call me on my phone and i'm here.

I think charity, as well as lovingkindness all while respecting yourself, is the way. I do believe marriage is essential here. The world needs fathers to be the best fathers. We need to be the best kids for our parents and fucking CALL THEM. Same with our romantic life; we need to stop fooling around and commit, for life, and get married. I really am a strong believer in this.

There are societal impacts which are effected by marriage too. Pretty much all of them are indriectly imo. lol.
