Why are Women Unhappier than Ever in History?

It may help to read the article link I just posted on my facebook page regarding how consumerism, feminism and malignant narcissism had caused women to feel generally unhappier over the last 25 years. Mental illness, such as depression, anxiety and panic disorders have become much more prevalent in women today than in history. The article is eye-opening and the comments are even better. I feel that most of what I read on this article makes sense and stands true for me but there seems to be a serious lack of understanding, let alone mentioning, of the importance of a woman's need for love, support, nurturing, affection, attention, security (not the financial kind), peace of mind and a general sense that someone gives a flying fuck about you..when it comes to our happiness. This can be familial, amicable or romantic..whichever or all three. We need LOVE to be happy and there is a major lack of this substance at home and also in modern countries around the world. The more individualistic a society becomes, the more alone we are..with or without our fucking STUFF we have purchased and consumed. We have our cars, our boobs, our boys, our degrees, our jobs, our fun, our bling, our everything..but where are our families? Our supportive partners? Our REAL friends? Stop buying shit, stop getting sexy and start hugging each other, start eating dinner together and bringing the left-overs to your siblings. Start spending Sundays together and stop watching games. Give a damn about each other again, like when we were kids. Simple but amazing.
