[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a young woman, I think us millennial and Gen Z women have been pointing this out for years and mostly got routinely mocked by older women who called us snowflakes and such.  So *shrug*- I would feel way more for older women had they done more to protect younger women and change things for us and supported us in this fight.  But now I feel like you guys have to be on your own, because for years men have preyed on younger women and mostly your generation was totally silent and if anything enabled things.

Sorry, but that's just how I feel.  Not a lot of tolerance for boomer or Gen X women at this point in my life.  Actally IME women of an older generation (the one before yours) fought harder and were more protective of young women than your generation ever was.

So... chickens come home to roost. Oh well. [/quote]

The millennial and Gen Z women are sexualising themselves far more than any other generation in history.  I now see younger women as objects far more now than ever before.  You are asking the previous generation to fix up a problem that has been around a lot longer than that of one generation and I can assure you, that the millennials and gen Z women will do nothing as well.  In fact I see future generations of women with extreme mental health issues and body image issues as they struggle to continue the strict image status that is now upon younger women.  The body must be perfect, make up perfected every day, wearing designer clothes, successful in every facet of life.  This is hard to pull off and the pressure to maintain this throughout life will surely end up taking its toll.  That is what your generation will pass on to younger females, to continue striving to be gorgeous for the male gaze, in essence you are adding to the misogyny.

I was never overly attractive so I saw the difference much younger however the one thing that has shocked me as I have aged is the misogyny from younger women.  I always knew men hated older women but I never expected to see that from women.  I see that women today have far more opportunities than ever before and a lot of great women take those opportunities but a lot of young women just see their looks as being paramount, at a time when they could do anything it seems all they care about is their looks which in essence is what men have said is the most important thing about women.  Younger women can't see this and as they take off their clothes thinking they are empowering themselves they are in reality giving men what they want and doing what men have told them to do.  Its not empowering, I just see it as extremely sad especially for future generations.

This is your opinion, and tbh it's a very small subset of the population.  TBH the fact that you would blame young women for this, and in the same breath beg for sympathy when you live in a world YOU CREATED, is kind of comical and rich.

Millennial and gen z women have had to do all the heavy lifting with MeToo and sexual assault issues.  The stuff I see older women excuse is truly appalling.  And you want to focus on lip filler?  LOL, I'm sorry, but you guys sound so stupid.

This is why I just cant deal with boomer and gen X women.  They just seem so culturally out of it and just silly.  It's kind of sad.  Good luck guys.[/quote]
