Ive been thinking more and more about generational divides.
Is a lot of this bullshit to do with age, do you think?
Young women pander to men. I know, I know, naywalt, but generally speaking.
Its daft, but a bit of a growing stage. And lots of men (namalt, for equality's sake) take advantage of it.
That would be a contained problem if there wasn't such a cult of youth.
Millenials v boomers. Listen to the voices of the young people. Mid century invention of the Teenager, followed closely by teens having ready cash and a brand new market to be exploited, pandering to their tastes, their natural dissatisfaction at older people, embrace of novelty. Social media is dominated by young people, which is understandable.
Theres a phrase, What's Rare Is Marvellous. In an ageing world, where there are more old people than there are resources to care for them, and a world and lifestyle that's changing so rapidly there is not much respect for older viewpoints. Old people are not rare, nor is . It's not like a 70 year old grandad is a rare treasure, who knows every stone on the land, and the highest point in the river happened when he were a lad.
You see on mn how new mothers dismiss their own mothers and grandmothers advice. So many mores have changed.
The new mothers and modern contract workers are not wrong. Knowledge is advancing at a rapid pace. People dont live the small farmer life anymore and we're doing better for it, on the whole.
But it's a big huge societal shift. It plays out in all sorts of ways.
