After all, studies of female happiness in the U.S. find that even as our options have increased and we have become financially more independent than in any previous time in our history, American women as a whole are not getting any happier. If anything, the studies show that we are emotionally less well-off than we were before. Wasn't the whole point of the fight for equality in the workplace to improve our wellbeing?

The writer seems to be under the mistaken impression that equality has been achieved in the US.

I'll take independence over half-days at work, thanks.

Yes, financial independence is totally overrated.

Maybe the problem is that the burden of domestic labor still falls largely on women. Ha, kidding!

All this article really does it imply that American women are anxiety-ridden perfectionists and that Dutch women are lazy ( ... )

See, ladies? If you want to be happy, you need to stop with this whole, 'Equality' nonsense, go find yourself a man and stay in the kitchen! amirite?

Wait, why are you holding that knife?
