[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe they suddenly are experiencing a lack of sea parting for straight men in society and are having breakdowns and being crybabies. Mad because society has started to value competence and excellence over gender/race/physical appearance/stereotypes of what kind of people should be in what roles in society. [/quote]

How old are you? Just curious.[/quote]
Old enough to remember when stereotypes held women and minorities back from certain careers, leadership roles, etc. Young enough to appreciate society's evolution.[/quote]

I am told to feel more marginalized today than I ever felt as a child to my late 30s/early 40s. Now I’m supposed be mad about things I didn’t witness or experience at all or to the extent young people claim about the past. Tbings seems to change around the mid to late 2000s.  Ow I feel expected to say how oppressed I was. 🤷‍♀️ I certainly benefited playing sports in the early days of Title IX but I also had strong female role models in my grandmothers and great-grandmothers.

You would think that an enlightened society would stop with the blame game and accept people for who they are without labeling/pigeon-holing. Move forward without using the same tactics used in the past to marginalize people. Do better.[/quote]
