A report published today reveals that women are less happy than thirty years ago. The survey estimates that the average woman in Britain is 7% less happy than she was thirty years ago, suggesting the increased demands on the fairer sex in the modern world as the principle reason for the dramatic change.
The report, published by the think tank ADAPT, surveyed five women they found on Balham High Street last Saturday.
A spokesman for ADAPT said: “Women are 7% less happy than they were thirty years ago.”
Jack Tart, an industry spokeman, said the figures looked “gloomy.” He said: “Thirty years ago, in 1966, women’s social roles were fewer and more clearly prescribed. Imagine life for the average woman back then: England had just won the World Cup, Britain had relatively recently won two World Wars, there weren’t too many blacks around still – Britain was a wonderful place to bring up children. Now of course, the poor bitches don’t know if they’re coming or going.”
The survey also revealed that men are also less happy that thirty years ago, down 4% compared to 1966. ADAPT’s spokesman said: “Men are 4% less happy than in the past. This is less than women. Women are 7% less happy than thirty years ago.”
