[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are some well known men in DC who have gone through a succession of affair partners while married.  Names you might have heard of.[/quote]

Does anyone really care any more?  I think millennials are over all the drama.[/quote]

Absolutely not. Millennials are far more Puritan than their boomer parents. [/quote]

Sadly, after the last administration I doubt anyone cares about the extramarital affairs of powerful men anymore.[/quote]

We care. It matters. We value family and commitment. Especially given the rarity of its exception.[/quote]

You sound like a baby boomer whose spouse left them.  As a millennial, I am far more puritan than my parents but IDGAF what any couple does in their bedroom because you never know the real story.  Dead bedrooms, verbal abuse, open relationships, etc.  I feel like Bill Gates' divorce was the tipping point for my generation's views on marriages.  We just don't care any more.  The world has more important problems to address.[/quote]

But younger generations do care about informed, explicit consent. Younger generations believe that sex without consent is a form of rape. That is what infidelity is - if there is explicit only to monogamous sex. It may be true that that is hard to tell from the outside. But, the younger generation also philosophically tends to believe women when they speak about their own experiences. So a woman who says, “I didn’t consent to non-monogamous sex.” Is believable.  A man who has lied to procure sex is a creepy predator. Yes, the younger generation doesn’t care what kind of sex with whom, in contrast to older generations, but they care much more about active, affirmative, enthusiastic consent under truthful conditions.

Really all we care about is getting either rich or famous, or both.[/quote]

Not true for the entire cohort. Some of us don’t care about anything outside of our family and the village we choose to live in. We expect loyalty and faithfulness. We are exposed to wilder and bizarre forms on nonconformity so I’d say we have less judgmental reactions. Less critical, but we apply judgment for whether we want our family to reflect those values. We accept values that we may not walk in from others, out of respect.[/quote]
