The survey says for the english woman....

News CrimsonArrow writes "Oh, crap! Another poll is taken from 2000 women living in the UK. The results? 'Eight out of 10 women surveyed (81%) said they wished they could change their lives, 67% felt like they were on a treadmill and were worn out, and 60% thought life was easier for men.' That is not all, folks. If you read on, it gets worse for these poor, girls ..."

Anon user also submitted this: "Over 2,000 women in the UK were interviewed for a study and the end result? Most women are very miserable in a post-feminist age. Among the study findings -- Six out of 10 women said they felt their work/life balance was the greatest obstacle to their happiness, while the emotion experienced on a daily basis by 56% of women was "frustration". More than half admitted their finances were "out of control", while six out of 10 found their social and sex lives "unfulfilling", 92% declared they were unhappy with their bodies, 60% felt "life was easier for men" and 66% of women wanted to "quit the rat race". Are women finally wake up to the failure of modern feminism?"

60% thought life was easier for men

But 99% of women have never heard about or given men a chance to talk about 95% of substance of men's lives. So I give 39% of women credit for good intuition.

Some share of the 60% of deluded women are bitter male haters and self-absorbed whiners. Not sure what the percentage is, but surely it has been trending upwards.

Yeah, anon. The 60 percent thinking that life is easier for men is what makes me believe that these women are not quite in touch with reality. And of course only women were surveyed. This sounds like a feminist advocacy project of some sort.

No, the women you describe are not about to wake up to the failure of modern feminism. Don't be stupid.

There is no movement toward "traditional values" or whatever it is that you would like to see. These women wish to find way to coerce their employers to give them more time off from work (with men filling in for them), get paid for work not done, and get state subsidies so that they can litter the earth with offspring they are not able to take care of on their own (with men footing the bill through taxes).

And unless silly boys like you decide to wake up and see the real problem for what it is, they are going to get their way.

Don't be naive. Don't be flattered. Don't let women such as this stroke your conervative ego (yours isobviously overblown). Old school feminism - which was about equality - was a positive force. The new feminism, composed of whiners such as that which you decribe, are the real problem, not a backtrack to something positive.

Wake up. Better if we in the men's movement never speak the word "feminism" again and choose our own path.

Old school feminism - which was about equality - was a positive force.

Really? "Equality" in what sense? Female "equality" is wishful thinking, and women know it deep down, as they prove by their self-expressed sense of entitlement to treat "equal" men as inferiors and associate out of their league; this ill-gotten fantasy of "equality" at men's expense, has resulted only in women engaging in aggressive overcompensation and double-standards in trying to compete on an equal footing with men, while likewise refusing to accept what it REALLY means to "be a man" in terms of accepting responsibility that comes as the PRICE of this increased freedom. Women cannot be "equal" because they are by nature delusionally self-centered, and have yet to show otherwise. This also makes teamwork impossible, as any experienced person knows; self-led teams of women inevitably break out in abuse and even fights.
THIS is the cause of this "unhappiness," not
  lack if social support systems for "equality" that doesn't exist; denial of reality not only inevitably results in unhappiness, but in fact is the definition of INSANITY.

Women will be truly "equal" only when they prove it by asking equally for dates, military enlistment, sex and the dinner-check; so far, they fail to do so, despite that there's nothing stopping them. And "economic unfairness" is not the cause; women only earn .73X as much as men, because they are only .73X as PRODUCTIVE as men, at best-- and all the "overcompensation" by women doesn't change this, except to push men to the limits of their tolerance. Otherwise, a business could replace their all male workers with women, and cut their employment expenses by 27%-- and put everyone else out of business by simple attrition. However in a capitalist sytem, people are eventually paid according to what they produce.

When people want to wake up and smell the reality, they can learn to live with it and find happiness therein-- otherwise, the laws of nature don't yield to anyone, and men should be simply tired of subsidizing this fantasy at the expense of their rights and respect.

“60% felt "life was easier for men" - "while six out of 10 found their social and sex lives "unfulfilling"

Ironically, this will change for the worse for women as activist men continue to educate the public about the reality of men's lives.

More of the bitter man-haters will discover the cruel reality of their gender feminists lies. Let them taste the bitter fruit that is a direct product of their throwing gasoline on the gender wars. Let them live with the dissatisfaction of their loneliness. These “roaring” feminists have hit the stone wall they put between men and women, but now want more. Too bad, this is as good as it gets for those insufferable, over-privileged, over-entitled whiners who have made it their life's goal to make men's lives a living hell. Let them chew the seeds of discontent they have sown. Let them taste the bitter strife they have cultivated to fruition. They have sown the wind of discord and abuse toward all men for decades, now they reap the whirlwind of the hard load that men have carried for them. I say let them carry it without a man there to open and hold the doors.
 
If these irresponsible femitwits really want to improve their lives they need first and foremost to look long and hard into the mirrors of their lives and see, standing before them, the biggest obstacle to their happiness and fulfillment. It isn’t men to blame, it’s their own self-centered, selfish, male blaming, “have it all” attitude that has made them what they are. What cruel irony it must be for these liberated women to have reached that stage in life, where they hear that same little voice still saying, “It’s all about me! It’s all about me!” echoing in the utter emptiness of their unfulfilled lives. What a shock it must be to see, instead of a young beautiful, seductive women with the power to exploit every man, a now withered hag with a whining bitter tone of voice, that no man would want to touch let alone be around.

These feminist fools would be wise to remember the words of Clint Eastwood from one of his “Dirty Harry” roles, “A man’s gotta know his limitations.” Clearly megalomania has infected the brains of many feminists who have listened to the “have it all” preaching they’ve heard in women’s studies for decades. Welcome to the real world “Sleeping Beauty” the fairy tales is over for you.

NICE WORDED!!.

Somehow feminists have liberated men, women did not work. and did not support their children, men were coerced to support women and their children alone, in return of "something", this something was abolished and support women was not just that but much more. as a result less marriages and more divorces, the consecuence of this?:

Women must work, and as long as they work they must also support their kids, men are not so much pressured to into marriage, with so many single and divorced people marriage has just become an alternative life style, in any case men marry women that work, if possible women that makes as much as them if not more.

SO FOR VERY LITTLE IN RETURN MEN HAD TO SUPPORT WOMEN AND THEIR CHILDREN, THANK´S TO FEMINISM MEN HAVE BEEN LIBERATED, LIBERATIONS THAT IS NOT YET COMPLETE, BUT THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN IMPOSSIBLE EVEN TO THINK ABOUT IT JUST SOME DECADES AGO.
