Because those who willingly choose to stay at home and are financially secure enough to be able to are probably pretty cool with their life.

actually you'd be surprised at what low female labor force pariticipation rates are correlated with

thangs like poor economic outcomes (low growth rates) and poor levels of educational attainment and of course high poverty and other idicia of social dysfynction

I won't claim causality...but that does seem to run in both directions (low female labor force participation contributes to those outcomes and they in turn contribute to low female labor force participation)

plus cultural factors contribute to both (both low female labor force participation and those poor outcomes)

Why are successful single unmarried women still unhappy?

Not all stay at home women are in wealthy families.

feminists have taken everything that has fulfilled women for world history (having a husband, raising children, caring for a home for the family, nurishing your family, believing in God) and told them that those things are evil and they should pursue the opposite (money, career, many sex partners, etc)... the result of this has led to an enormous decline in happiness, particularly single women, who now take prescription drugs more than any time in history

leftists think this is progress.

but what they have created, is a demographic who will always vote for them
 
I’d love to see the data on stay at home moms.

Anecdotally, I have seen a lot of stay at home women have mental health struggles. I’m not sure I’d accept at face value that they are happier than working moms.

all women are less happy than they previously were. I would take an educated guess that stay at home moms are questioning their choice because society is beating into their heads that they are not real women and the grass is greener in the 8-5 cubicle
 
The absolute hilarious takes from thethe and sturg are just that hilarious.

I mean I guess they're a little sad too. But I guess we need to give thme props for finally going full mask off on mysogeny.

And SSRIs are convincing women who are otherwise miserable that life is fine

That’s possible. I could see the argument that societal norms have created an expectation that all women needs to be in the workforce. Given that expectation, I think it’s also possible (likely?) that women who still choose to stay home struggle more than women who pursued careers.

Hard to put that toothpaste back in the tube.

I guess my thought process here isn’t that there aren’t other factors contributing to someone’s happiness but rather within the context of America today that any group of people who both want to and are able to stay at home are likely to be happier for reasons unrelated to traditional gender roles being the natural order of things. Not all happy stay at home moms are wealthy, but the deck might be stacked a bit in that regard.

Might be relevant to the conversation - not sure if there were other big drivers causing this but it seems the biggest driver is denying basic realities.
