By From the Men are Good Video Channel, which if you have not subscribed to, you are, we must declare, suspect.
This is the first youtube to use a more talking approach. The others are highly labor intensive and take weeks and sometimes months to produce. This kind of video can be done much quicker. I hope you find it of interest. TG
The happiness research is fascinating and can be seen in this link:

There are many who are hypothesizing about the reasons for this marked shift and the I don’t think there is a clear winner to date. However, as I say in the video it looks to me that the shift in roles for women has taken a toll. I could be wrong.
This is a chart showing a slice of the date taken from 12 graders. It gives you an idea of how things have shifted:

The narcissism data is also fairly controversial as can be seen in the NYT’s piece. It is interesting that Twenger first started her research when she saw a large shift in women claiming to be masculine. I think this Times article goes into that a bit.

No question that our obesity, both men and women, has risen in the last 50 years or so. Yes, it has risen for both but I think there is an important difference. A man can be very successful and of high status (wealthy, powerful, star os some sort) and be obese. I don’t think the liklihood is the same for women. If women are obese it plays directly into her attractiveness and that is an important factor in women attracting mates. So the increase in obesity is likely more deleterious to women then to men. At least that is the way I see it.

carlos morales: There is no greater lie than false hope, and hope in politicians is as
false as you can get. Political Hope is the ambiguous notion which
convolutes and embeds itself in the irrational psyche. It causes a foggy
disposition which comes over you like the most mind-altering of drugs.
It is Empty promises, empty rhetoric, and a consistently inconsistent
message all under the presupposition that the best way to live is to
have someone else tell you how to live, what to think, and how to do it,
yet it's worse than that, because that "how" is not a suggestion - it's
a mandate
corbettreport: Having been immersed in the left/right facade their entire lives, many
have begun to see the world and those around them through that prism.
Either someone is on the same "side" as they are, or they are the enemy.
There is no room for nuance, no subtle distinctions to be made, no room
for alliance or cooperation on matters of great import. Perhaps most
devastatingly, there is now little room for any analysis of the powers
behind the political throne, the oligarchical financial interests that
could care less whether this or that President has a "D" or an "R" next
to their name, whether a Prime Minister is "Labour" or "Conservative,"
whether an MEP identifies with the "left" or the "right." Deprived of
this understanding of the real nature of political power, the public is
truly powerless to identify the real problem at the root of today's
political crisis, let alone even begin to address it.
Angelo: Left, right, man, woman, divide and rule.
