“By many objective measures the lives of women in the United States have improved over the past 35 years, yet we show that measures of subjective well‐being indicate that women’s happiness has declined both absolutely and relative to men.” This is the opening line of a Yale study conducted by Betsey Stevenson and Justin Wolfers. In this episode, we make the final and missing connection between why feminism has eroded women and the declining happiness rates of American women. We leave it with the unpopular suggestion, that MAYBE! Just Maybe, Feminism has FAILED women.
