Topic: Do older generations of people sometimes oppress the younger generations

Some people look at the Fritzl case and look at it as the patriarchy hard at work, and maybe it's so, but there's people who don't pay much attention at the sex of perpetrator but instead his old age and the young age of the survivors.

Can you please explain this thought in a different way? I see the name Fritzl and I want to discuss, but I don't understand what you are putting across.

Wow, that's what I was getting at, never heard of that before. I was asking, do yall think there's a bit of gerontacracy going on? It seems ridiculous because we've all seen news about elderly people getting mistreated in a terrible way but maybe it's a mixed bag thing that's really going on here. There's a bit of patriarchy and matriarchal stuff going on, some gerontacracy, oligarchy and such...

oh, I never knew the word existed, but anyway I looked it up and the accepted spelling is gerontocracy
