They change, they just change slowly. Compare the world now to how the world was 100 years ago, 200 years ago and so on... Complex things just don't change that fast.

men, as far as I meet, want a woman who is stick thin (you always want what is rare); are perfectly 1950s dressed; and have zero issues or baggage.

This simply doesn't match the facts about how men are. It sounds like you only notice certain men...?

And I just cannot ignore the fact that the VAST majority of people who I know who are married are deliriously unhappy. If they aren't outright cheating but so unhappy they can hardly mention their spouse without a disparaging word.

What are your exact statistics on this?

I saw a story about a guy getting parlayed by a tree branch falling on him and I, for a second, thought, I want to find a solution for people who are paralyzed, but then I thought ... ha... go to another profession and find the corruption and bureaucracy that is in mine. Is there anyplace I can make a difference? I think the answer-- truthfully... is no.

You most certainly can make a difference! Don't give up here.

I don't really see people losing their stuff more than before. Obviously we have to keep working at improving things, I will agree with you on that.
All in all... I hope you can try and find the positive details too like I said in my above post.
