Watched part of the video but one thing that became obvious is most of the woman's perspective is academic or based on her perceptions and not actual knowledge. For instance early on she talks about how she thinks that husbands and wives in earlier times of marriage where marriage was "partially arranged" because families and friends knew each other and introduced "didn't talk" and it was almost like a business arrangement. That's not how things worked outside of extreme examples.
Modern women have many issues and most have to do with the environment they were brought up in. You have many that grew up without a father figure or with a weak father figure that just treated them like a princess and let their wife make them into their bestie. An extreme example would be the daughter on Landman for instance. Dad just wants to make her happy and doesn't want to really know about the bad stuff. If she dresses like a **** the wife defends her and tells him to stay out of it and he too often just accepts it.
So many young women are in therapy or on meds as well, and they are also pushed on birth control at the first sign of their cycle being off regardless of them even being sexually active. Women are much more willing generally to want to go to a Doctor or therapist to solve problems for them than men as well.
I also think some of the issues we have stem from the advent of the birth control pill and abortion both becoming easily available in the period of a decade or so in the 60s and 70s. Fundamentally women had virtually complete control over having children and their bodies in a way that they never had before but society and social norms were not prepared for it. The main issue is that the reality of having sex being a significant risk of pregnancy and a child forced women to be very responsible with their bodies and relationships. They understood the consequences of not doing so. Those lines have blurred or erased since then and women have been pushed to feel as though they can have all the freedom and none of the responsibility yet still are given the benefits of having that responsibility in terms of society and the law.
While that freedom from responsibility seems great it has consequences. When you don't have consequences for your actions or they are muted or you are told they are someone else's fault it is unlikely you will make better choices. This is also very dangerous for women because the reality is most women in the late teens through their 20's can live a pretty consequence free lifestyle in many ways and be sheltered from those consequences only for them to hit like a ton of bricks in their 30s where they aren't expecting them and are unprepared. For instance in your 20's the idea of having to settle down and have kids and make radical changes to your lifestyle is harder to see the longer term benefits. As a woman gets older though everything works against her. Fewer options for a mate. Harder for her to adapt and change as a relationship needs (if you spent a decade being single it's hard to be married with kids). Fewer years of fertility. Natural aging and loss of energy along with anxiety over seeing friends and family who do have kids. Essentially "The Wall" is undefeated for women just as something else is "undefeated" for men.
Of course women are also told a lie that they are somehow oppressed and that men have things easier because they point to benefits but not negatives. For instance men have fewer consequences physically, emotionally, and socially for sleeping around but the reality is that it does take a toll and moreover only a small segment of men have that access to sex whereas the overwhelming majority of women have that access. A higher value male will sleep with a lower value female but rarely vice versa.
