[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reading posts on here, and occasionally on Reddit, and it seems like people get anxious and offended more easily and feel justified in making others accommodate their needs in ways that my generation (X) didn’t expect.

Ex’s. 
The poster with the waitress teen dd who doesn’t know what to do when boys/men ask for her number. (Not so much that op, but others who claim it’s harassment that the boss needs to fix for her)

(I see lots of this sort of sentiment on Reddit, which I assume trends younger. Everything is harassment, bullying, etc which warrants adult/supervisor intervention)

A law partner colleague who tells me he’s not allowed to mark up a young associate’s work too much, as advised by HR. He says if he marks up their drafts too much, they run to HR.

Thoughts? I want to live in a more careful and kind society, but I think that goes both ways.

For the waitress situation sure a woman needs to learn how to say no. But when women do you know they get murdered right? This is not like an outlier.

I think dismissing a teenage girls inability to say no to multiple men a week is insane. It is the job of her manager to step in and say hey she’s at work no.

I don’t the law associate was told they can’t “mark up” a young associates work. What they were told is you aren’t treating young associate differently than you treat normal associates you need to treat them the same and interpreted that as I can’t mark up the young associates work.

Men don’t like to be corrected and when they are corrected, they’re gonna twist the facts to make the other person look crazy.

Also, Reddit, 90% of people only read Reddit, 9% of people might click on the like button.. only one percent of people actually write on Reddit.

So you are facing your judgment on society it’s based on one percent of people on Reddit.
