Boomers often were assholes. Women who worked also got to continue doing house chores and childcare. The harried mothers told Gen X boys to step up. Also that female happiness was a goal. Now you have guys running ragged to do their jobs, disproportionate amounts of household stuff with the old man chores, childcare, and women still piss and moan and whine about “unpaid labor.” Targeting female happiness as a goal is ridiculously unattainable, especially in middle age when “hypergamy” ceases to be an option.

Yeah. I’ve seen and met a lot Gen X more than i care to encounter and they’re like boomer ver 2.0. A bunch of sci-fi ridden assholes with two divorces under their belt and zero compunction towards others simply because they had it so rough. Their boomer parents gave them a lot of shit and they paid it forward to what we see now.
Once I understood that it stemmed from unhappy relationships and unhappy family dynamics. I decided to do away with all that and focus on personal finances and travel.

The millennials can be dorks. So many of them are married to women who claim to be “bi.” The Zs I interact with remind me of Boomers with a mix of other traits. They don’t take a lot of shit in relationships and are more conservative than millennials but view marriage as a joke.

Like, I remember constantly going to my grandparents’ home (Depression / WWII) at a moments’ notice. My parents urged marriage and kids, they wanted grandchildren. Then my parents’ divorced to find themselves and do their own shit. My father hasn’t seen his grandchildren in 15 years and my mother is a world traveler. They couldn’t care less unless they need me to drop everything for their latest health “crisis.”
