It's Like the Millennials have All Become Uber-'70's Feminists or Somethin

[Hoof Hearted]

They're all over Social Media, pointing their fingers and scolding anybody who says anything remotely outside of the PC Box.

How did this all happen? Who's to blame for this?

My brother told me he read a study which showed millennial male handshakes were weaker than their own Mother's.

A weak handshake at a job interview is the end...you're done.

Who's to blame for this?

Obama probably.

It's like every single generation has an older generation that thinks younger generation not as good as they're generation.

I remember the '70's generation thought everyone from my generation were gay, girly men.

One of my bestest friends use to say that there was no good music after 1970.

My hubby agrees that this generation is quite unmannly.

I love change so I have no negatives about any generation except maybe the '70's cause they were quite mean and became known as the 'me' generation because of it.

I like millennials on the whole. I just can't understand how an entire generation has grown up being so defensive, and easily offended.

I guess I'm not covering any new ground here with this topic Header. But Twitter especially pisses me off these days with it's holier-than-thou attitude.

You're just stuck in a very simple paradox that the average person can recognize.


The curmudgeon fallacy:

FREE SPEECH!

STOP CRITICIZING ME!

 

[Corduroy]

Are you Millennial? Nearly everything you've criticized Millennials for you are doing in this thread. Gonna have to see that handshake just to be sure.

 

[Hoof Hearted]

maybe you're right, mentalfloss,

Perhaps I've become that old guy shaking his fist and yelling, "Kids these days!!"

Corduroy,

At 51, I'm Gen X and my kids are Gen Z.

As long as you can fit whatever you believe into a utilitarian guideline, then you will have the upper hand.

That is to say, if you can show that millennials behave in such a way that can be objectively shown to cause harm, then you will be able to validate your philosophy by comparison.

Twitter? I've read about that somewhere. What's Twitter? Is it related to twerking?

Corduroy,

I guess Gen X is super whiny and sensitive too then. Get some thicker skin and deal.

Cordy,

There's a difference between whining and ranting. I think you're conflating the two.

 

[Corduroy]

It's ranting when you do it and whining when the people you're ranting about do it.

 

[Hoof Hearted]

Cordy,

I think you just always enjoy playing devil's advocate.

In fact, I'd go as far to say that you secretly agree with everything I've said on this thread...that you are infatuated with my every post...and that you're slowly falling in love with me!

 

[EagleSmack]

Flossy pretending to be a millennial again. LOLz

Who's to blame? Look in the mirror. Majority of millennials were born to gen Xers. If they are "whiny", it's because of how they were raised.

I know, right? These days you can't even hold a woman down, slap her a coupla times, and f*ck her without her screaming "rape" and all.

Always so quick to pounce...to inflate, embroider and hyperbolize.

One thing is sure. Snowflakes can't be masters of the universe. So get ready for The continued decline.

Sorry for agreeing with you. Won't happen again.

Glad to see you finally admitting one of your problems.
