    I’m sure your grandparents are lovely. My thoughts were more with the decision makers from that era. How peace and acid translated into oppressive views of women

    I know it’s an unfair comment to make but it’s in response to generic older generation pissing on the next, saying how things were better in their day.

    The vast majority of boomers I’ve met have been kind. But there’s an element of the old men on tv victim blaming that got me thinking it’s a pattern from their idealized days when women “knew their place” and the “negro man” wasn’t so complainy

    Maybe my shower thought was too harsh sounding.

      That seems like a overly broad assumption. However my grandparents are from the south and my grandma remembers never seeing anyone non-white.

      It turns out they were all killed by the KKK… (That was in the 30s and 40s)
