      Were aren’t going to find out for sure, because its not like we have a time machine or anything, but I’d be curious to know if women are happier now than when they were expected to just be housewives.

      I mean in general, the ones with abusive husbands and absolutely no recourse obviously shit was fucked.

        What I enjoy about being a woman is 2026 is I am free to come & go as I please, have my own bank accounts & credit cards, responsible & accountable for my own self & my own money & I don’t have to answer to anyone,

        but it sucks that I don’t have any other option.

        I can’t just sit at home and have someone take care of me for the rest of my life. Because deep deep down, no matter what gender you are, you gotta admit, wouldn’t it be nice to have someone take care of you while all you have to do is sit around being sexy all day? 😜

          I agree except the sit around being sexy, I would want to just sit around and be my ugly ass. Being sexy takes work.

          In general they kinda dont. Being a housewife to a fairly rich man is an option, but there aren’t enough to go around. Live in poverty or both partners work at least one job for most people.
