  Are Men Really Happier than Women?

  Without a doubt, happiness is a choice. Studies are never exclusive in which this is the end all be all.

  
  

  It's an interesting thought to compare women in the U.S. and women in Europe. Through a generalization, I think that aging is looked down upon for women in the U.S. There's botox, plastic surgery and miracle diets all over. When I lived in Italy, age was embraced and beauty was relative and had nothing to do with age. Young and old women were embraced for their individuality and gregarious, yet indulgent lifestyle.

  
  

  Society might aid in women not being happier as they age, but I think that it will not dictate my own happines as I age. With each time in my age (teenage years, 20's, 30's, etc.) I think there's something new to embrace and love. Why not focus on the growth and expansion we experience?

  Digg Community Responds to Change.org CR Efforts

  Jen, thank you for posting your consciousness-raising post on Digg in the first place and also following up. As I sorted through the comments I was surprised at the rise in negativity (why are people so defensive?) but then I also began to appreciate the dialogue that you created. Whether it was negative, positive, favorable to your post or not I think that in the end I agree you did the right thing by "confronting the community and trying to make it better." I will stay posted and thank you for "staring sexism straight in the face."
