Curly Smith,
There are many more humans on the planet today. I can’t agree with you that today’s married parents have more leisure time than my mother or grandmother. many can’t get by on just a husband’s salary anymore. sure we have more convenient appliances but where past generations had WW11 we have iraq, aids, economy woes, foreclosures and bankruptcies, more deadly natural disasters, islamic terrorism, more violent gangs, global warming, a country divided, hostility towards women i.e more kidnappings/murders. Yes, it’s true, the media does bombard us with a lot of “doomsday” issues that seem to have no remedy. And we are working longer to get less. So based on the article, feminism is the least of our issues as a society OR for cause of depression as Dennis Prader would urge us to believe, rather foolishly.
It may be different from then, but it’s all relative. What we do have that past gen women didn’t have, are more choices.
However if feminism is to be used as a whipping girl (so to speak) then having more choices, in and of themselves in this “feminist” new-world, does not make for “depression,” disappointment or sadness etc., but ultimately. making the BAD choices do.
