In
Psychology Today Sherrie Bourg Carter
reports on the topic of "the least happy people in America." She writes the following:
In The Paradox of Declining Female Happiness, published by the American Economic Journal, researchers Betsy Stevenson and Justin Wolfers found that although women's life circumstances have improved greatly over the past few decades by most objective measures, their happiness has declined—both in absolute terms and relative to men's.
Glenn Harlan Reynolds, a law professor who
blogs as
Instapundit and provided the link to

Weirdly, those were the very decades in which feminism exploded onto the scene.
A coincidence, or causation? And if the latter, which caused the other? FYI, Reynolds' spouse, aka the Instawife, is an author and career woman.
