Early waves fought for voting and legal rights. Today it often frames men as inherent oppressors, pushes “believe all women” over due process, and devalues motherhood and traditional families. Birth rates are crashing partly because career-over-family messaging dominates. True equality acknowledges biological and statistical differences between sexes instead of pretending they don’t exist or are socially constructed.
Parenting has become too soft and overprotective, producing fragile, entitled adults.
Helicopter parenting, safe spaces, no losing in sports, and shielding kids from every risk or discomfort have created a generation scared of failure, criticism, and independence. Real resilience comes from skinned knees, hard lessons, and unsupervised play. Overprotection is neglect of character development. We need to let kids struggle, fail, and take calculated risks again.
hookup culture and casual sex have been a net disaster for young people’s mental health and pair bonding.
Apps turned sex into a commodity with endless options, leading to higher depression, anxiety, loneliness, and inability to form deep attachments. Studies show rising regret, especially among women, and declining marriage/fertility rates. The “sexual revolution” promised freedom but delivered emptiness. Traditional courtship norms with accountability produced better outcomes. We need to admit the experiment failed.
Parents who let their kids have unrestricted smartphone access before age 16 are setting them up for failure.
Constant screen time destroys focus, sleep, social skills, and real-world resilience. Kids with phones from elementary school grow up comparing themselves to filtered lives and getting addicted to likes. Parents who hand over devices without limits are choosing convenience over their child’s development. Strict rules until high school should be the norm, not the exception. Change my view if you can.
