Women are getting unhappier, I told my friendCarl.

Why are we sadder I persisteD、
"Because you care," he replied with a mock sneer. "You have feelings."
Oh, that.
In the early 70’s, breaking out of the domestic cocoon, leaving their mothers’ circumscribed lives behind, young women felt exhilarated and bolD、
But the more women have achieved, the more they seem aggrieveD、Did the feminist revolution end up benefiting men more than women
According to the General Social Survey, which has trackedAmericans’ mood since 1972, and five other major studies around the world, women are getting gloomier and men are getting happier.
Before the 70’s, there was a gender gap inAmerica in which women felt greater well- being. Now there’s a gender gap in which men feel better about their lives.
AsArianna Huffington points out in a blog post headlined "The Sad, Shocking TruthAbout How WomenAre Feeling": "It doesn’t matter what their marital status is, how much money they make, whether or not they have children, their ethnic background, or the country they live in. Women around the world are in a funk."
(The one exception is black women inAmerica, who are a bit happier than they were in 1972, but still not as happy as black men.)
MarcusBuckingham, a former Gallup researcher who has a new book out called "Find Your Strongest Life: What the Happiest and Most Successful WomenDoDifferently," says that men and women passed each other midpoint on the graph of life.
"Though women begin their lives more fulfilled than men, as they age, they gradually become less happy,"Buckingham writes in his new blog on The Huffington Post, pointing out that this darker view covers feelings about marriage, money and material goods. "Men, in contrast, get happier as they get older."
Buckingham and other experts dispute the idea that the variance in happiness is caused by women carrying a bigger burden of work at home, the "second shift". They say that while women still do more cooking, cleaning and child-caring, the trend lines are moving toward more parity, which should make them less stresseD、
When women stepped into male-dominated realms, they put more demands—and stress—on themselves. If they once judged themselves on looks, kids, hubbies, gardens and dinner parties, now they judge themselves on looks, kids, hubbies, gardens, dinner parties—and grad school, work, office deadlines and meshing a two-career marriage. "Choice is inherently stressful,"Buckingham said in an interview. "And women are being driven to distraction."
One area of extreme distraction is kids. "Across the happiness data, the one thing in life that will make you less happy is having children," saidBetsey Stevenson, an assistant professor at Wharton who co-wrote a paper called "The Paradox ofDeclining Female Happiness". "It’s true whether you’re wealthy or poor, if you have kids late or kids early. Yet I know very few people who would tell me they wish they hadn’t had kids or who would tell me they feel their kids were the destroyer of their happiness."
The more important things that are crowded into their lives, the less attention women are able to give to each thing.
Add this to the fact that women are hormonally more complicated and biologically more vulnerable. Women are much harder on themselves than men.
They tend to attach to other people more strongly, beat themselves up more when they lose attachments, take things more personally at work and pop far more antidepressants.
"Women have lives that become increasingly empty,"Buckingham saiD、"They’re doing more and feeling less."
Another daunting thing:America is more youth and looks obsessed than ever, with an array of expensive cosmetic procedures that allow women to be their own FrankensteinBarbies.
