Women, Men and Happiness: the ugly legacy of feminism?

Of all the comments to the piece Ellen Galinsky and I co-authored on the Huffington Post about women, men, and happiness, this one from JuniperSunshine is haunting me. I have no good explanation….help?

So, to sum up, since the Feminists pushed to encourage mothers to work full time:

1. Women are very unhappy
2. Men are slightly unhappy
3. Children are unhappy

Not only that, the days of parents raising their own children, which has worked for 2 million years, will never happen again. I’d call our society a massive experiment in prioritizing income over children, not a “transition”.
