Nope. It treats the symptoms, not the root problems.
People are most happy, regardless of how much money they have, when they have a very strong sense of purpose in their lives. They know what they're here on this earth to do and they strive to do it well. They feel important and valued in society. A big part of the drive towards politics (aka SJW) is it gives women that sense of greater purpose that they've lost by not having kids or feeling part of a close-knit community. This is also why SJWs must manufacturer ever more trivial things to be outraged about, because the moment they feel they've "won" they will have nothing left to contribute to (in their mind) the betterment of society.
Again, and I've said this before, but the biggest problem, feminism aside, is that modern life has destroyed society as we know it in favor of hyper-individualism. Nobody relies on anybody else. Humans are social animals. We desperately want to be USEFUL to the collective. If there's no collective anymore, then it opens up a terrible spiritual void. A lack of belonging, a lack of value.
Also, as society becomes ever more diverse, it's harder to be in a situation of like-minded souls. The only place we find tribes is online which is why conflict primarily plays out online. Even on Youtube with bobbleheading editorialists, they spend more time dictating articles that triggered them (which in itself are editorials where the author's been triggered).
It's not politically correct to say this, but homogeneity, like the mythical 1950s ideal, is an extremely attractive proposition, if you at least are in sync with such a group's way of life. In a world where everyone's a special snowflake it can feel like you have nothing in common with anyone else.
