Women and Marriage

money was invented for handing to women, but buying dances is a chump's game
How about women, do they really like married life? I know they get all silly when one of their friends is getting married, and they say that they want it. Sometimes they seem to demand it, but then what?
Julia Ward Howe invented Mother's Day. But then commercial and religious interests made it into the opposite of what she had intended.
The Boston home she shared with her husband had been a stop on the Underground Railroad. And she and her husband were of just a handful of people the Senate investigated for supporting John Brown's Raid. And then it was Julia Ward Howe who wrote the words to change the popular song "John Brown's Body" into "Battle Hymn of the Republic".
But Julia Ward Howe was also famous for how much she hated married life.
Nothing explains the ordeal the women of my mother's generation faced better than this:

And here, ABC mini-series, excellent:

The protagonist was married to a medical doctor. And she keeps repeating that she is thus doing what everyone says she should do. But it is horrid.
The only women I have met who seemed to enjoy housewifery were in religious groups. And it always seemed that the real purpose of the religion was just to sustain them in horrid marriages.
Most women today see domesticity as a trap.
Do women like married life?

Would she like to tell us how she knows this, tell her sources for this? And then does she have any idea as to why this would be so?

But she also knew that these 6 girls she was close to from high school had all gotten married and it had always been a disaster. And I met one of her friends for whom it was also this way.
And we do have a divorce rate around 50%. And I believe that the marital dissatisfaction rate is higher than that.
I read accounts here and there about unworkable marriages. I see non-partnership as the main issue. THE MARRIAGE owns both of them.
Yes, this is an example of Middle-Class Bad Faith.

You used the term married and "housewifery" apparently interchangeably. But I don't believe they are synonymous terms.
"Married" generally can be thought of as a legal and possibly religious agreement to a committed relationship.
"Housewife" generally refers to a set of duties/activities and responsibilities focused on maintaining a home; cleaning, cooking, rearing kids, etc.
Those are not the same. So it plausible a woman can be happy to be married, but unhappy as a "housewife" and, alternatively, she can be happy to perform a "housewife" role but unhappy that she is married.
Full transparency disclaimer: I am not and have never been married (or been a house wife :p) so my questions and assumptions might just be total bullshit.
But generally women still advocate marriage and seek it. But once they have it, often they seem completely dissatisfied and inclined to act destructively.
Housewifery only makes it worse.

Today, marriage is not for women the only thing in the world. So it is lighter.

It's just like on that TV Program, "Sex and the City", getting married is just about all that they talk about.

And also because they are not senile creeps like Skibum609 who live behind bars in the locked ward of the nursing home.
