    Women report being less happy in recent times. Is this because life is worse for us or because attitudes have taken a discontented shift?

        If women who consider themselves unhappy now were to be dropped into a 1950s life, how many wld be happy? How many feel more hard done by?

        how about the 1850s? For anyone. But unhappiness doesn't work like that. It's relative to expectations, situations.

        means they will realize the importance of each other when they taste the misery of missing each other.

        I think this is a different issue. I'm talking abt women generally. Those who live with husbands & kids & those who are single.

        Keeping up appearances was integral to 'Occupation: Housewife' era. Might have influenced willingness to report unhappiness?

        It is bcoz men and women have exposed themselves to each other beyond the limits. They r no more missing each other.

        perhaps unhappiness simply takes more free time? What if women and men are more unhappy because they have more time to reflect?

        Because we have more to choose from, and we put pressure on ourselves to "have it all" and be perfect?
