what a great article in the new york times about the difference of happiness levels among men and women. in case you are wondering, men are happier than women. duh. does this come as a surprise? backing away from my feminist soap box, and not stating the obvious of the lack of gender evolution, i still think that the pull to "have it all" meaning a fantastic professional life and an equally fantastic personal life is still really strong. placing that desire against the backdrop of a male dominated professional sphere, women having "double duty" (caring for children as well as their aging parents); there aren't enough hours in the day.
I especially appreciate at the end of the article (spoiler alert) how he talks about the need for paid maternity leave and universal preschool. hey everyone, jump on that bandwagon!
