“Previous generations were not so apt to invent trouble.”
When a society starts inventing problems and ignoring the real ones, you know that it is too privileged. Stuff like this and “manspreading”, for example.
I think it just means everyone is simultaneously up each other’s butt and hog-tied by political correctness. A little more minding your own business and a bit less dishonesty and butt-hurtedness would go a long way.
“Manspreading” is a perfect example. Instead of just politely asking somebody to move his leg a little if it’s in the way people will just apparently sit there stewing.
Now on the other side of that, the Western tradition of celebrated strong women (from prairie farm wife to English queen) is being relabeled “man a in woman’s body” basically from archetype to oddball.
