What I have noticed in current year is that everyone seems to be obsessed with appealing to authority, like rushing to teacher (ie police, law courts) whenever hurty words are said.
When I were a lass

we would never dream of doing that for stuff we could sort out ourselves. I don’t know why the change has happened - whether young people are getting more authoritarian minded (the cancellation trend would also seem to support this), or whether it’s a class thing, and the urban middle class who make up a lot of the discourse on this topic, just really, really enjoying sicc’ing their lawyers on people
There seems to be some collective narcissism where this subsection of society believes that the whole world should rearrange itself around their ideals or their discomfort.
Believe whatever you want about the world and yourself, and I'll defend your right to believe it, whether that be Christianity or Islam or that the earth is flat or that men magically become women just because they announce it. Freedom of thought and the convergence of different beliefs is central to a democracy. But that's not enough for these people. We must believe the thing they believe, openly, otherwise we're bigots.
It's so individualistic too, like there's a generation of people who have never heard the word no, and think that they alone are the arbiter of acceptability and what is the "right side of history".
The post on FB is full of the "What's the problem, you're bathroom at home is gender neutral?"
So witty, so original, so irrelevant.
Yeah coz my bathroom at home is full of strange men who get a boner from listening to women piss.
I
bleeping hate unisex toilets. I don't want to piss with men, they're disgusting, I don't want to stand in a puddle of man piss, I don't want to see a man pissing with the door open, I don't want to share any personal space with basically any man, even the ones I like.
The one I've chosen as a partner is one of the cleanest men I've ever met and I can just about tolerate him.
