Women are more depressing than men,and men are blamed for this. But perhaps men aren’t the real culpritsA new NHS survey shows women to be unhappier than men for nearly their entire lives – until their mid-80s, by when the men with whom they have often shared those lives have usually dropped dead. It is not an encouraging scenario. That women are depressing until their partners die is not flattering for men. For the women, and it is even worse – they are the depressing ones. Post-Weinstein,we panic that powerful men are toxic. Now it appears that everyday male partners are toxic, too.This must be put into context – men are three times more likely to destroy themselves. But for everyday misery, or women beat men every time. For anyone of a remotely feminist persuasion,this is unanswerable proof that men are a trial, a burden and selfish to boot. Men design you depressing.
