...no one is doing that or hoping for abuse
They'll have to learn the hard way
Gen Z girls are between the ages of 9 and 24. I'm not even 24. I have never once grown up with feminism imparted on me. From birth I was heavily instructed to be feminine, despite being naturally non-conforming. I know not a single other young woman within my generation who has been exposed to actual feminism during their youth. I don't know any gen Z woman who has an opinion like that ("old ugly cheugy millennials") without it being enforced patriarchal from birth, either. I'm sorry you have had a hard time from younger women, despite us not really holding any institutional power unless it is enforced by patriarchal men. Spare a thought for us young women and girls who experience the same levels of sexual assault, abuse and rape as previous generations, but without the easier access to empowering forms of radical feminism, though.
Well mostly what I do is defend young women when they speak out against sex work. I don't start the conversation. The dangers of the sex trade don't effect me so even if there wasn't a generational rift it still wouldn't be my place to talk about it
Well thank you for bringing attention to these problems. It's a nightmare of our times and I'm grateful for anyone who highlights the inequalities and suffering these women experience.
This circle is for discussing books of any kind, regardless of genre or subject. Share a book you’ve recently read, request recommendations, post articles about books or authors, share photos of your bookshelves.
Our goal is to encourage reading books of all kinds, and to be a place for open and civil discussion about any book or author. Whether you read occasionally or every day, whatever your reading tastes and opinions, we hope you will join in and support other members.
