Moms stressed out from work? Moms are buying homes and cars and educations for their kids and teaching their sons and daughters how to do the same.


Agree.

It’s the dads who are stressed out with working and raising kids. So stressed out they shut down and lash out and hide at work longer and on weekends!

My mother is retired so I guess that is why she is a "happy" grandma with a lot of time on her hands? I don't understand your premise, the parents raising teenagers now very likely had working mothers. I was a latch key kid.


Right. Gen Z are looking for an easy way to quick retirement and becoming women of leisure. They are not workhorses with a great work ethic. I expect many of these girls from Gen Z will fail in the 9-5 40 hour workplace. They have different priorities and don’t necessarily believe contributing to the “establishment”/government and society by working all the time is productive or noble. Gen Z do not like to even go outside to pick up groceries or food. They want everything delivered. This is the stay in place and stay home generation. The modern workplace has already done mass firings of Gen Z and they haven’t even been in the workplace or out of school for that long. Covid’s quarantines only made things worse.


Good points: there IS a huge swatch of entitled, spoiled, zero work ethic Gen Z out there. Riddled with ADHD excuses as well. Can’t start my work, can’t remember to pay my bills, can’t take the garbage out. Can’t can’t can’t

The modern woman doesn't want to have children. This upsets men who want that.

Not the Gen Z ladies in college. They worked like dogs to get there and it continues while they are there. These girls are not fooling around.


Working at what? Protesting and activism and gender studies programs? Ok….

Dear God not most people I know, whose grandmothers got through their days drugged to the gills and alcoholic. Weird idealization of a past that didn’t exist.


+1. Not sure some of the posters on here actually have met some of these college students. Many are well ahead of where I was at that age. They have been through lots of the material we had in college in highschool. They seem to hit the ground running when they get to campus, work real jobs during college summers and come out with good job offers.

This is not our grandma's college. They have struggles but they have way better coping support and knowledge then we did. We just self medicated with alcohol.

Thank goodness for their strength and fortitude because these students are the future. they have their work cut out for them.

Liberal college educated white women suck the fun out of every.single.thing and make a big dramatic deal out of every.single.thing. It is annoying AF. Even to me. Imagine how a working class guy feels.

-their child rearing ideas are annoying AF and filter into our schools & children’s activities. Constantly harping and focusing on sugar, diversity, the environment, fairness, ZOMG Larlo’s dad served peanut butter!!!! blah blah. They have a fit if you give their kid a cookie for birthday or team snack. Fun suck.

-constant focus on racial issues and DEI that even people of the supposed “discriminated race or gender” do not EVEN REMOTELY agree with. Taking offense to silly jokes or language that even people of the “discriminate race or gender” think are funny. And they think you are annoying, a PITA, and all “Karens”

-ruining assorted cultural celebrations with your BS and whining

-weird ideas about gender and sexuality that no one actually agrees with at all

-anti Christian nonsense. I’m a freaking atheist and annoyed by the “it’s a WINTER party, not a Christian party” BS. Who cares?!

- hysteria surrounding Donald Trump. I do not like him either, but he is not Hitler, sexist, racist etc.

- obsession with gay and transgender issues

-horrendous ideas about public education in general

-COVID obsession and germaphobia that lasted for years and severely damaged public education

-censorship and/or attempted censorship

I could do this all day long and list approximately 50 more things. You are no fun and ruin so many things, judgy and annoying, whiny AF, overdramatic and so much more. Most people largely want to be left alone and do not want to listen to constant lectures and finger wagging- and have long ago lost patience with you.

Take a look in the mirror.

Wow, that is some rant.

I would note, for whatever reason, there is a significant number of kids who are deathly allergic to peanuts and peanut butter, so start with that and work backwards through your list of greviences as to why they are mostly wrong.


Shhhh

She’s not like other moms. She’s a cool mom.


Aka she is a mom willing to lower her standards to that of an uneducated individual who is bigoted, lacks empathy for those with health conditions such as deadly allergies, doesn’t care about children’s health/obesity, pushes their religious ideals on others through the use of the government, etc.

But at least she is “not sucking the fun” out of things.

The thing that makes me laugh though is study after study show liberal areas with high rates of college education are healthier and have a better quality of life.

At this point though I’m done caring. If people want to bible thump and get worked up over who uses what bathroom and eat junk all day, I just don’t give a crap anymore. I will carry on enjoying my UMC, college and grad school educated, healthy lifestyle in which I would never prioritize a freaking snack over someone’s child possibly dying.

What universities or majors are you seeing act like the above?

To me it's gaslighting to hear men claim that colleges are indoctrination centers and that young women are radicalized and need to be deprogrammed.

It's like the social media pundits on the right have successfully learned how to DARVO, turn it all around, deny centuries of women having no rights, and women are believing it.



I'm a college educated woman and I'm quite happy with the outcome of this election.

And it's true. Colleges are liberal indoctrination centers. That's been painfully obvious for quite a while now.


Well I feel sorry for any young girls/women in your life. You helped to perpetuate the cycle of toxic men in our society.

So were college students from the 60s and they did just fine. Not sure why you think protesting and activism are new to college campuses? Maybe you should go back and study some history?

There was a lot of information available about how to get an education and how to make it pay. Go find it and if you're smart, you're not going to get it from an anonymous chat forum.

All men want the same thing, do you really need to ask?

I’m a college educated woman with a master’s degree who voted for Trump. The left has disrespected me for the last time. I’m finished with giving any of them the benefit of the doubt.

They do want to have kids but they don’t want to be married to one. They want an equal partner. But I guess that’s too much to ask of men so they threw a huge hissy fit.
