Thread: Across the world women less mentally stable, especially in "gender equal" nations

Based on my completely non-scientific observations it looks like men are simply lagging, and overall are trending in the same direction as women. Men have an advantage because we’ve always been the ones to be more likely to be in unfavorable situations, whether it be a hunt, war, dangerous work, etc. and have just learned to suck it up better. However, the quality of having mental fortitude is quickly being removed from males, so both men and women are in a pretty bad boat from an overall perspective. I also think another factor in the outcome of those studies is that women are more likely to ask for help and signal distress because it’s rewarding for them. Humans are programmed to rush in and assist a woman in need, but that’s much less the case with a man in need.





Edit to add - didn’t know they were only looking at adolescents. While what I said above still holds true, I think the social media effect can’t be understated. This is especially applicable to adolescents, but applies to adults as well.

Who'd have thought getting sold a lie about working chitty jobs your whole life being fulfilling would lead to mental issues.

LMAO, since they entered the workplace, wages have gone to chit and now two people need to do double the work to run a household. No time for a decent relationship or family either. Plus work is fking chit and the only reason men did it was so their family benefitted, it's not aspirational and if we could sit at home and do fine we'd pick that instead.

If I got done that fking hard I'd probably go to chit too.

TLDR: we are becoming less intelligent(g). Yes “IQ” scores may be rising but the underlying, heritable factor of IQ, which is general intelligence(g) is FALLING.

TBF, inventing chit is a lot harder now. You could build a fking lingtbulb in your shed. Good luck developing a fusion reactor in there dickhead.

We used to have so many geniuses/eminent men who produced such gifts for us. Our society no longer treasures men like that. You may say: But Steve Jobs! Elon!...... but the rate at which we have creating inventions is slowing big time.

We are certainly in the age of decadence, and I think we will actually be the first generation to see this age grip most of the world at one time. Whereas before it was somewhat confined, we now see all of western civilization all over the globe decay through the age of decadence together. Meanwhile China seems to be rising and implementing lots of policies indicative of a blossoming empire. They still have tons of issues though, and I’m not sure exactly what stage of their lifecycle they are in.

For context, I was married and now I'm a widow. Not saying that for sympathy, just so you have a sense of why they might tell me to not work and be a welfare queen.

and it's only getting worse from here. enjoy the ride boyos

Some women should work if it suits them. The issue is it's pushed for every woman and traditional roles are frowned upon.

If you weren't widowed, your husband made enough to support both of you and asked you to manage the household instead of grinding away for $20 or some chit, a good chunk of which would go to tax/childcare/expenses like cars etc. anyway would you be depressed then?

I know women who spend pretty much everything they make on childcare so they can have a job as well as their guy. It's fukking moronic.

Totally fine supporting my wife, as long as I'm fed, the house is clean etc. she's got plenty of time to pursue her hobbies, we're both happy. More people could have that if feminism stopped lying to women and pretending a "career" is somehow more of an achievement than a happy, functional, family.

I did the full time homemaker thing for a while and was depressed, yeah. It's absolutely not for me, although I think by now I've managed to find a good blend of supporting myself doing something I enjoy and domestic pursuits. That's an interesting point though, I don't think traditional roles are frowned upon at all and I sure do love some feminist circles. I think it's more about having a choice, and I also think all women should have some sort of backup. That was ingrained in me from the most conservative and traditional evangelical churches, so I think that's a pretty normal, traditional and wise idea. Definitely grateful I did.

TBF, between a straight 50% of all assets, child support and alimony payments, divorce is a pretty solid fking backup.

Hobbies and part time jobs may have helped you in that case too. Dunno, everyone's different.

But from talking to women, it seems like there's a pressure to achieve things in career terms. There are definitely women that see traditional housewife roles as demeaning or insulting too, we might just move in different circles. There's an obvious effort to dismantle traditional nuclear families as well, which I'd argue has had a collective impact on everyone's mental health. The family is the ideal unit, every one of my relatives would die for me, as I would them. The state that some kunts are trying to replace that with on the other hand will happily kill or imprison me if I fuk up a tax form, sweet.

I don't think households are meant to have two people working, definitely not two working full time. Housekeeping and childcare is a fulltime gig as it is. There's honour in it, I respect my wife and mother a lot more than any of the "successful" people I associate with.

Moving back towards traditional roles and support systems (family again) where possible would have a positive effect on mental health. Those leaving the workforce would drive up wages causing mental health benefits for the remaining workers too.

Post war politics fukked us and now we live in hell.

phaginator brah where do u find these things?

Do you just google them or is there a special interest that find these things that youre a member of?

LOL I like you Kenneth but we're living in one of the greatest periods in history. I don't know what is up with the hyperbolic misc statements lately - if hell is the ability to design my future in an aggressively capitalist country where I'm able to provide a comfortable and secure life for myself then wtf I love hell now. I totally agree with you though that homemaking and raising children are noble pursuits.

I wonder if people feel pressured to achieve in general. Even in the most traditional quiverfull households, there is pressure to achieve things as well - the achievements are just in terms of popping out a baby once a year. I wonder if we live in a culture where just existing isn't good enough, and I wish that were different.

The "fall of Rome" literally took 350 years or 1300 years depending on what you consider to be the last Rome (the city itself or Constantinople). To the people who lived through Rome's collapse they wouldn't had known it was collapsing.

Did you even watch the video? Serious question because he doesn’t say anything about Rome in particular, only the general lifecycle of empires.

Look at depression rates, suicide rates etc. Compare wages v productivity to 10/20/30/40 years ago. Then look at moral standards, LMAO at the fact most people can have their lives ruined because they made an edgy joke on the internet at 14 or something. Don't get me wrong, there were worse times, but it's not exactly fking rosy right now.

I'm doing fine because I'm not a moron, the average person is fked. Society's not based on a few doing well, we need to all get a bit better or what's the point?

Also, of course we feel pressure to achieve, it's the reason we're not still sat in a fking cave hiding from wildlife. But I think what we view as achievements are a bit skewed.

I'm well off to the point of being secure and comfortable, which you could define as an achievement. Now is that as much of an achievement as being Bezos rich? Probably not but I'm not suffering lacking that achievement. Now I doubt that bald little goblin kunt will ever meet anyone who genuinely likes him, surely having people who can stand being around you is worth more than riches to the level where it all becomes pointless?

We're all just looking for happiness matey, we just need to fuk the distractions off and work out what it is we actually need to get there.

What we definitely don't need is advice from American university campuses though. That chit's making me think Adolf had a point.

In great part a lot of the mental health problems are due to social media. This already happens to some of the insecure guys on here who see good looking, ripped guys on instagram living fun, exciting lives and getting hundreds and thousands sometimes even millions of likes on their pictures. When women see this(and not just older women are prone to this, uglier women are as well) and start developing self esteem issues it can cause serious damage.
