Female Life Span Going Down In Some Parts Of The U.S.

20. Stress

Far too many are labeled when they are teens. They are lose,fast,trampy just by what they wear,what time they are out at night(even if they have a job). If they become pregnant they may as well wear a scarlet anchor around their neck. Of course they must be punished for such behavior so the ruling roosters do their best to force them to have the baby even though it can easily ruin their high school education(and beyond). Being a young parent or not the female finds jobs a sad lot with wages that are depressed by any standard of living. They can't advance,get raises,get benefits--no future is what it means. While some try even harder they may find it hard to do if they are trying to raise an infant/child. Others may get a "what the hell" attitude. Women are expected to breed on que(as soon as they are married). Again it makes little difference if that is what she wants or what she and her spouse/partner can afford. It is what "they" expect women to do. More stress caused by the peanut gallery. As the years roll on many women find juggling jobs,being a mother,cook etc a bit much. Yet it is expected of her from a society that seems to like to put women in their place. When something goes wrong in the family often you will hear it MUST be HER fault. If one of their kids gets in trouble the mother often gets blamed for working outside the home,not working hard enough to keep the little darlings from, say,shoplifting, because she never earned enough to support her offspring comfortable. If she dresses well some say she is looking for something outside of marriage. If she doesn't then she is asking for hubby to stray to greener pastures. Talk about stress! Finally she is now one of the sandwich generations. On the one hand she may have to help support adult children because jobs are so scarce and poor paying that many cannot even leave home and she may also have to care for aging parents at the same time. It's been a long time since we have had women who enjoyed the June Cleaver lifestyle.
