Resumen de Enough to get you down
Williams remarks on a study of 70,000 female nurses determining that those who identified as most optimistic had a 31% reduced mortality risk compared with the least upbeat. This exists on the same spectrum as men who feel compelled to shout "smile" at passing female strangers, should they not seem visibly cheered--there is a peculiar pressure on women to appear pleasant. The messaging around this study feels particularly hampered by these problems, insinuating an almost moral and personal imperative to be optimistic, aimed at just one half of society.
