To the Editor:

As long as women accept our cultural denigration of the value of nurture, their happiness will continue to slide.

What could be more important than creating a home and raising the next generation, all in balance with a career that gives a feeling of self-worth and financial independence? Yet increasingly we shun the notion of work-life balance as inefficient and impractical. Have we given up on the pursuit of happiness?

Note from KBJ: The reason women are unhappy (as compared to men) is that they have been lied to by feminists. Women have been told for at least 40 years that (1) men have it all and (2) women can have it all, too. Men have never had it all. To have busy, fulfilling careers, they have had to sacrifice their family lives. Women are learning about trade-offs.
