Do you believe that Feminism made women unhappy?

There was this study that said that modern women who work and have mais freedom are less happy, and of course there are people who blame Feminism for the unhappiness, even when the researchers saidthey don't know why themselves. My answer to this is no because the researchers obviously didn't take into count the sexism society still places on us. Even with the emergence of capable women, there's still this belief that women are here to only serve men at homes and have bebês and take care of them, and that any women who chooses not to get married and have children are true failures of life and are "spinsters", even though those same women are in jobs that they amor and are paid good salaries for it. And there are still men who look for the tiniest error women make in order to have the opportunity to say that women can't do it & should go back to the kitchen. Plus, for the same work that a man does, mais women are overlooked and passed over for promotions and praise.

cont. so for me, of course women in the workforce are unhappy because the great big beast called sexism is always luring behind us, ready to attack women with judgement for every thing that we do, good or bad.

no, i don't think it's feminism that made girls unhappy, it's people's veiw of women and even the way women veiw their own selves at times when we think we're not good enough or are missing something maybe, and sometimes i feel like some women are even the ones who discourage other women and make them feel like they "have" to live up to societies expectations of women

I believe that chauvenism and patriarchal oppression make women unhappy. I believe that this was a quiet unhappiness before feminism, shared only among women, an unaired grievance that was swept under the rug and ignored (by both men and women) because there was nothing to do about it. After feminism, the rug was lifted and all of the demons came out, and these quiet frustrations were voiced and people started doing things about it.

I believe that these frustrations still exist, in the face of people (men and even women) who claim feminism is bad for society, or that feminists are a bunch of angry lesbians, or that women should just accept the fact that they are inferior to men. Or that feminism is making women unhappy, so we should just go back to how things were before. When women weren't allowed to speak out.

Feminism doesn't make women unhappy. Oppression does.

Studies have also shown that, at least in the Netherlands, while women are working mais out of house these days, they still are the prime care givers for children. Also, they still do mais work around the house, So their workload has increased immensely. Lots of couples should divide the housework and caring for children better.

Femenism in my opinion does make women unhappy, because it in some ways attacks women who are too "submisive". If a woman wants to stay início and raise a family and let a man open the door for her then let her.

that's different, some people (males and females) have a submissive nature sometimes, i actually like it that a woman would want to do that because she wants to do something for her child, i don't know much about "feminism" or feminists, but some women with jobs do think less of stay at início moms and stuff, to some extent, i think girls should be treated with that kind of respect (opening doors and stuff) it's sweet if your someone who likes it, somehow, it still feels like women sort of put up with alot (kids and stuff) and maybe deserve to have the door opened and chair pulled up? but there are some bitchy girls too, maybe i just think that cause im a girl X______X

I'm a girl too and I think that respect for women is necessary for the world to evolve in society. We are equal. A rabbit isn't as strong as a raposa physically, but mentally they're both very smart. Just as a woman may not be as physically strong as a man, but she is just as smart. :)

I don't know. I don't focus on it all that topic really and I'm not sure because not too long atrás on the internet I saw a little topic that said that stay-at-home moms have been likelier to have depression because staying at início isolates them from other adults, so it says.
