You’ve got to hand it to Gen Z!!

I know the whole transgender thing causes a lot of debate on Mumsnet. I’m not looking to stir that up here. But, regardless of where you stand, I think we all have to hand it to Gen Z for managing to freak out older generations so effectively.

Boomers spooked the Silent Generation with their love of rock n roll and the counterculture of the 60s.

Gen X framed the Boomers with acid house and rave.

Millennials were kinda lame as ‘hipster’ was little more than irony and beards.

Millennials and Gex thought they’d seen it all and were cool and tolerant.

But then came Gen Z who decided to disrupt the traditional thinking around gender. And all hell has broken loose. Gen X who thought of themselves as seriously tolerant have been massively freaked out!!!!

You have to hand it to Gen Z!!!

That's clothing, not stereotypes.

I noticed that earlier and this confirms it - OP genuinely doesn't seem to know the difference between outfits and stereotypes.

It's a fascinating failure of thinking and I think it would probably explain a lot about genderbollocks believers if I could be bothered to unpick it.

Like the song says, "gender is just clothes."

It’s wild that so many people now confuse personality and specialist interests for gender identity.

Stereotypical of what, in what context? DMs were stereotypically worn by skin heads, is that what you are referring to? Dungarees, well, lesbians and/or feminists? Ethnic hats... no idea what or who you're referring to there!

I could not find the cookies recipe no matter how hard I revised this thread. Has it been deleted?

Any chance of answering the questions put to you?

Seems pretty stereotypical to me.

Which makes it a little creepy that they are crowing about how Gen Z have been manipulated into permanent self harm.

No one can silence you here (unless you break the talk guidelines) so handily your can continue to post. You could try reading back over the posts and answer the questions put to you.

I wonder what other "lame insults" you regularly get called.

Calling someone who is supposedly 40+ “creepy” for commenting on an issue pertaining to younger people is a pathetic attempt to silence opinions different to your own.

“Creepy” - the lamest of insults

Not liking the word "creepy" says a lot about a man person. I'm not going to spell it out for fear of deletion, but rest assured, we see you.

“We see you” - similarly lame

So you think no one should ever do anything risky?

It's just disingenuous because you, yourself no doubt in numerous activities which harm some people: perhaps including, driving, cycling, alcohol, smoking, use of drugs, side effects of well known medicines etc.

I merely note the sociopathy.

There's a lot of it about.

RoseslnTheHospital · 11/02/2023 16:04

I wonder what @MadamAndTheAnts thinks about 1980s youth and their disruption of gender roles and stereotypes, referencing examples like Adam Ant. Although Adam Ant himself is a baby boomer by date of birth of course.

Judging by the OP's username I'm going to put money on them never seeing 40 again.

That’s what I was thinking

Yes, because it that were true, it would be terribly embarrassing for me to have started this thread wouldn’t it?
