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

I dunno, man. Maybe life just sucks regardless of gender.
But to your point on sitting in a cubicle 8-5 not being greener: no ****ing duh, man. Women aren’t entering the workforce specifically to be a corporate wage slave any more than a man is. The idea is to get educated, get a good job then be promoted to eventually get to the top of the food chain. Chasing your dream in 2025 America generally sucks for everyone, and the chase isn’t the end goal.
