Just look at the majority of posts on this site. Some seriously out of touch and angry people on the left. It would be concerning if they weren't such marshmallows.

Out of touch with what? The price of eggs being related to avian flu? Or the actual causes of inflation? Or the right bringing up trans stuff as a wedge issue repeatedly (every post I've seen about it on this site has generally been some MAGA type ranting that this impacts me more as a woman than abortion legislation).

Just because people who are educated don't fall for the right's propaganda, they are marshmallows?

Not the PP, but I’d say the election results pretty definitely show how out of touch DCUM liberals are.

Not really. In the end, Trump still won on a very tiny margin (one of the tiniest in the past 60 years), still the majority of POC didn't vote for him even though the percentages shifted right. The percentage shift mathematically seems more related to losing votes entirely (people not voting) than more people shifting votes to Trump. Many didn't vote for Harris over the Israeli/Palestine war, right or wrong on that one. That isn't an endorsement of Trump or MAGA policies.

This is some serious coping. The entire government structure shifted to one party.

so? I has happened before. Also, the numbers don't lie. More people vote for someone other than Trump.

Yep, now show us what you can do. Fix all the things. We’re waiting.

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

I’m a Gen-Xer. I think Gen-Zers are better about putting up boundaries. No, they won’t slave away for an employer that has no sense of loyalty to (good) employees. Good for them.

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.

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

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.

And again.

Make a claim, then don’t back it up, post a riddle non-response.

Lemme guess, your misguided but out of energy mom thought this maladaptive response pattern of yours was cute and clever. Jokes on you.

You want people to post a major or a name a university so you can rip it apart. That is a dumb game. Some may be headed to the local community college. Some might thrive at the State University. Some might thrive at MIT. Some might want to go to a service academy.

If you look, you can find students having excess at every single one of those examples, including some succeeding without going to college at all. But some blanket statement about there is backlash to women going to college is just a whole lot of nonsense.

so? I has happened before. Also, the numbers don't lie. More people vote for someone other than Trump.

Bill Clinton got 42% of the popular vote in 1992 but I suspect you think he had a very strong mandate.

Biden is still president in case you hadn’t noticed.

Nope. No mandate. Also, did not vote for him.

So as more women achieve a degree than men, and more men see themselves out-performed in the economic marketplace by women, yes they resent it and blather on the internet about “deprogramming” women.

The foolish thing is to assume this is recent. Backlash against women being educated started the second high caliber colleges started admitting women (look at the history of Girton in Oxford it’s both hilarious and sad). I’m not saying don’t be appalled— just don’t be surprised.

Bingo! Excellent post.

Very slim margins.

It's so weird to see MAGA women support trad wife roles. My trad wife neighbor is currently in an abusive relationship. She cannot get out because she has nowhere to go and three children.

And if you think it will not happen to you, think again.

This.
And it’s not just about in the workplace.
There is a move to change social mores about women’s choices over their bodies.
See recent cabinet nominees with sexual assault allegations. If it’s ok for “leaders” then it will become ok for certain men (white).

Civilization has controlled women for millennia. There are two ways to look at that history. All civilizations were cruelly and unnecessarily harming women, or those civilizations understood that to thrive and grow, they needed to reduce women's influence.

Honestly, based on the way things have gone since 1971 (when women were happier), I'm starting to wonder.

I think it’s both. They needed to reduce women’s influence to thrive and grow in a way that favors men, and if ever the balance got out of whack, they remembered that they’re physically stronger and resorted to cruel and unnecessary harm.

this-it's not all reading books and knitting

Exactly, don’t leave out gardening, pickling and making berry jams!
