The chestfeeding nonsense has been a great little wedge issue for progressives to cut each other up over. People providing maternal health are finding out pretty quickly that barely literate teen moms and fresh off the boat foreigners shitting out kids by the dozen really struggle with language like "chest feeding person" or "nurturing partner who lactates."
Somehow we're meant to believe there are enough troons out there who can conquer gender dysphoria long enough to get impregnated, carry the baby to term and nurse it, but somehow can't bear to see the word "woman" written down. The language is altered to cater to this group of people who definitely exist in real life in large numbers and not in the fantasies of the extremely left. Meanwhile, the Ambers and the Lakshmis of the world are left to try and decipher what was once basic health advice and now reads like an instruction manual for an HR Giger themed sex doll.
Now previous generations always go on about the current generation being "Molly Coddled" or soft, but mostly that is born out of a kind of jealousy that usually as time goes on, things are better.
My grandparents, born in the 20s, grew up 30s, lived through WW2 London, told me that the good old days were shit, with kids running around in bare feet, classmates having a smell like pear drops on their breath due to a lack of protein.
They both would have loved stuff like SNESes and school trips which me and my generation more or less took for granted. Hell, daily hot water and not risking freezing to death in winter would have been nice for them too!
Now, sure, we who were born late 70s to early 80s, were probably fucking soft compared to kids who had to deal with not enough food, home kitchens being a relative rarity, having to work from 14 cause a parent died.
But we still had to deal with some shit.
What we certainly did not do though is get "upset" over some long established terms because some people might feel excluded.
I like to think that in the UK at least, it was the fact that there was a Cold War threat, and the general feeling of unease which came from the IRA and risk of bombing.
It probably is a lot more to do though with the fact that physically socializing with others as children and teens was the norm, even if it was piling around someone's to play video games, or watching films, it was still dependent on being understanding and tolerant of other people and their differences.
This internet raised Generation, later millennials and Gen Z, are encouraged more to be self centered, but to view tolerance as something they decide.
They have been raised with an idea that friendships can be easily broken and forgotten, replaced with new better friends, because they are just a google search away.
This has not lead to people finding friends who are actually better people with more loyalty and integrity, but people who are so afraid of exclusion that they agree with whatever nonsense to not get so easily blocked or forgotten.
The reason all this makes them softer, is it really does mean they do not have to deal with genuinely hard situations.
Block, complain, grass, go to the internet for study notes, depend on smartphone for information, have childishness indulged well into adulthood.
TLDR:
Kids today are soft and can't hack it. The internet and being told they are special constantly has ruined them.
We need a good old war to sort em out!
