There’s the problem. They’re not doing anything that makes them feel. They’re living for everyone but themselves. They are living to please others and to impress others. There’s nothing wrong with doing for yourself. Taking the time to do what makes you happy makes you happier overall.

Quite often the reason why modern women get divorced is so that they can live for themselves. They don’t know that it is only a healthy balance which will make them happy. I’ve never met a modern woman who swung the other way who was happy. Sure, she got free to do for herself, but she destroyed the stability, especially financial stability, of her previous lifestyle and found herself older, working harder, all to have a little “me time.”

Women would have been better of doing a third way between the feminist drive into the workplace and traditional marriage: get married young, raise their kids to their teenage years and then go off to work.

Call it a professional bias, but I don’t understand why most women would feel unfulfilled by raising their children while they’re young, but fulfilled by doing drudge work in a corporate setting.
