Tl;dw?
Summary:
- various facts and statistics about how women's participation in the workforce has increased, but their happiness has decreased
- mention of the
Paradox of Declining Female Happiness
- when women get the vote they vote for the welfare state because they like security
- in the 1960s feminist groups (funded mainly by the government) lobbied for more government funding, and more social programs to help women
- all this government spending eventually needs to be repaid, by these women's children and grandchildren
- when women joined the workforce the tax base significantly increased, so the size of government significantly increased
- for the first generation or two, women had a choice to enter the workforce or not: but now pretty much all women have to work
- women are unhappy because they are forced into the workforce
- to have any kind of reasonable lifestyle you have to have two people working; taxes are so enormously high
- in 1950s could afford a nice family home on a single middle class income; now you cannot.
- having a career while also raising children is a miserable lifestyle
- if women could afford it, most would stay home with their children (at least while the children are young)
- women today are paying the price of the benefits women received a few decades ago
- things will continue to get worse, because children are being badly raised by stressed out working mothers
- whenever you use a gun (e.g. government) to get what you want, the result is always a multi-generational disaster
