Why men are getting happier (and women more miserable) Part V
While women work their brains out, men get more
and more 'neutral downtime.' Does this make them
the real beneficiaries of the women's movement?
The
beneficiaries, of course, are the men lucky enough
to have such women in their lives. They are gaining
downtime by having a breadwinner. They get joy
from their wives' accomplishments. They are fulfilled
by the presence of physical beauty. If they are
family-oriented, they may even get to become stay-at-home
dads. For the few men who understand the price
their spouses pay for happiness, it may inspire
the sort of emotional generosity we tend to associate
with females. But it's a safe bet for now that
a good many won't. And if you told feminists 30
years ago that a generation of Tobys and Pauls
would be the ones enjoying the fruits of women's
efforts today, more than a few might have put down
their placards and gone home.
