Malcontent Feminists

A friend of mine sent me the following article the other day:

http://www.slate.com/id/2137537/nav/tap1/

It’s worth a look.

In brief, it suggests that women who strongly identify with feminist ideals tend to be less happy across the board than their more traditionally-minded peers. That is, women who affirm the homemaker/breadwinning gender dichotomy in marriage rate higher in terms of happiness than married women who prefer the shared-role marriage model. This holds true irrespective of whether or not the actually women work and what percentage of the household income they actually earn.

First off, I’m not sure the study is reputable. Second, even if we assume that the findings are accurate, I’m not sure what’s to be done about it.
