No. He's disagreeing with you and for good reason. Women, on average, were very happy. They experienced a high quality of life and contrary to the jewish feminist propaganda, were valued for their contributions to the family. The happiest of modern women are conservative christian women who embrace tradition. Many actively seek the traditional life of a 50s wife. Even 50s dress styles are semi-popular. Women want to be valued. Many are finding it in pre-1960s American heritage. Conservatism reborn.
