Move On (dot) Feminism

According to Arianna Huffington's Post, http://www.huffingtonpost.com, women are unhappy. There will be several articles over many weeks studying this phenomenon and all the "study after studies" that are saying how unhappy women are. I really just want to say, "Quit your bitching." But, for now, I will show a little compassion and some old fashion Donna Reed and June Cleaver philosophy of life.
Personally, my demeanor has always tended to be on the positive and happy side, but I know there were many younger years spent in an unhappy funk, contemplating my bellybutton, so to speak.
I did come to the revelation in my early twenties that I am the only one who can make me happy, can make me feel how I want to feel. So that was a learning moment. Not that I used it all the time! In fact, looking back, I may not have been unhappy, but I don't think I was that nice. Nice = Happy = Nice? or Happy = Nice = Happy?
I wonder if Arianna's intense investigation into this social dilemma will prove something that Dr. Laura says. Oh, that would be such sweet irony. Dr. Laura says that women are happy being a true "Housewife." That's my word, not hers. Meaning, biologically, women are the care takers of the nest. Women bare babies, nurse babies, create a home, and can build a happy home life. In making her man and family happy, women become happy.
I didn't get Dr. Laura's book, The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands when it first came out. I felt I loved being in a very typically happy, married life. I do the housework, cook dinner, wear the pearls. She talked about the book quite a bit during her show, so I picked up lots of tips just listening. One really big tip: you never have to fight. Whoa, what? Not! But, applying just the simple basics of her philosophy made our relationship more fun, loving, sexy, easy and happy!
Before her book ever came out, I used to think that women who are married and work full time with kids in day care was a drain on our society as a whole. I still do. When housing prices went sky high, insuring that it would take a double income to support a mortgage, I moaned, "who will take care of the kids?" to anyone who would listen. Boo Hoo. Was I not happy?
I did buy The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands just recently because I thought I was going to give it to a couple that I thought might benefit from it...but, I kept the book. It makes me happy.
