When did the world become pussified?

[Speaker to Animals]

Most millinneals were born to boomer parents. You can quibble over the boundary years, but not that. Don't be silly.

Yes the majority of older Millennials were born to Baby Boomers, but as you get closer to 1990 and 2000 the majority switches to Gen x. I'm not being silly, I just have a better and more complete understanding than you. Sure, if you use a less common earlier start dates you will get more Baby Boomer than Gen-Xers, but if you use the more common 1983ish year that number will favor Gen-Xers more. Remember by 1985 the majority of Baby Boomers were 30+ years old, and outside their prime birthing years. The further away you get from 1983 fewer Baby Boomers are having babies and more Gen-Xers are having babies. By the early 90's you'd have almost exclusively Gen-Xers having babies. To exclusively say Millenials are the offspring of Baby Boomers is ignorance is history and biology.

For a more anecdotal evidence. I am an older Millenial, and the majority of the people I know in my age range have Gen-X parents.

As for the topic of snowflakes. This concept of safe spaces and snowflakes didn't come around, or at least it wasn't popular, until the younger Millenials started to enter college. For these Millenials to be born to a Baby Boomer parent, their parents would have had to be in their late-30's and 40's. I don't know about you, but I doubt a significant amount of Baby Boomers were having babies in their 40's. These Millenials are definitely not the children of Baby Boomers. They are the children of Gen-X.

Why are you quoting yourself?

Repeating the same facts that one poster doesn't seem to understand and has failed to read the thread before posting.

I read it, and understood what you were saying. I am just saying you are wrong. It is ok to be wrong. We are all wrong from time to time. This time it is just your turn.

I did not claim that ALL millennials are born of boomers. I claimed that most (predominately) millennials were born to boomers. So much so that it shaped the character of the entire generation.

The same is true of my generation. Most of Gen X were born of Silent Generation parents. Because I was born right at the end of the generation, I have one parent who is a boomer.

But the character of my generation was shaped not only by our time but by our parents. Our parents didn't hand out trophies for losing; that was boomers who did that. Our parents weren't helicopter parents. That was boomers. Our parents left us to our own devices. We were known as the latch-key generation when I was growing up. These things had impacts on how we developed later on. And they impacted how our children (Gen Z) were raised as well.

The question of this thread is how this pussified SJW bullshit came back as it did. The answer is obvious. The last time we saw this PC craze was when boomers began to enter into positions of authority in the early 90s. Back then, it was different because it was a top-down kind of thing. You saw people in positions of power trying to stifle speech. But most people rebuffed. Now the children of those boomers are demanding the same thing from the bottom-up. What makes it worse is the fact that boomers are not leaving positions of power because they squandered their retirements and dessicated the nation of its prosperity through poor taxation policies and gibs me attitudes.

It's not a coincidence that Silent Generation, Gen X, and now Gen Y share so many of the same pessimistic traits. We are our own thing. Boomers and millinneals are their own thing. These babies and young children you see today growing up in the households of selfish millennial single moms are going to be the next iteration of that poison prodigy.

People can get pissed off that I characterize their generation as such, but fuck them. Look at what their generations have done.

Most millinneals were born to boomer parents. You can quibble over the boundary years, but not that. Don't be silly.

I'm a young millenial and my parents are absolutely not boomers. Your definition of millenial begins much too early.

Of course the boundaries are hazy and not everyone has kids at the same age but I reject the idea that anyone born in the 70's can be a millenial.

You are not even reading what I post.

[Martin Hash]

You've already been called out in this thread for pushing a biased position.

The "pussies" are the children of GenX, and all your huffing & puffing ain't going to change that.

[Ex-California]

1966 born from 1942 parents.

Gen X born to Silent.

This chart is wrong. People born from 1976-1983ish are by no means millennial.

[Martin Hash]

"Millennial" means graduated from High School at the Millennium.

[TheReal_ND]

Can confirm. I was born in 77 and didn't graduate until I got my GED in 00.

All I have seen are people not reading a word I write and responding to nonsense I did not write; i.e. straw man.

We can quibble over the boundary years of generations, but your assertion that millinneals are predominantly the children of Gen X is asinine.

The generations are staggered, with.only some crossover at the boundary years, and the children of teen parents like nukedog. Millinneals are the product of boomers. It's self-evident. You can see it in all the emotional self-absorption the two generations share.

You can also see the Gen X pessimism pass down to our kids in Gen Z.

1966 born from 1942 parents.

Gen X born to Silent.

1964, born to 1932/33 parents, so last "boomer" year to GI-gen parents according to that.

I've seen '64 debated as gen-X or not, but even so I've known people born in '65 (gen-X) to parents of my parents generation (who'd have been early 30s) who then would be gen-X born to GI-gen (parents born in depression era). I'd argue that gen-X'ers, at least those I've met, born to depression/GI parents have a very different worldview than those I know born to later boomer parents.

Even if I were to take California's statement "This chart is wrong. People born from 1976-1983ish are by no means millennial" as right, children of those were in college by 2003 (if they went out of HS). They might be the SJW professors, but not the current SJW students. Although arguably the SJW professors are the "poison", not 18-20 y/o's that really are otherwise clueless without the poison being pumped into them.

Have to agree with StA though, if gen-X is even (taking California) '65-83, a millennial in 1984 would have to be born to 18y/o or younger gen-X'ers. A 1992 millennial to 1965 gen-x would work (27?), but not to a 1983 (9y/o?). Even 1977 would make a 1992 millennial born to 15y/o gen-X.
