I've experienced that, too, as a millennial. I try to help them or teach them about men and get laughed at for being a radfem or a "man hater." This is part of the reason I just stopped trying to help them in person. Now I just focus on my blog and promoting it, so that maybe young women will find it and have some prospective outside of the media and male depravity.

I feel so sad for millennials and Gen Z cuz I think you've grown up in a time that is unprecedented in human history in terms of access to porn and the evil propaganda engine that is social media. I'm gen-x and although the 90s weren't perfect, it was grunge and everybody looked a mess, there was no expectation to be ultra-feminine and constantly gorgeous (the younger people I see look like exquisite dolls, they must be spending a fortune on makeup, hair, nails etc). There was quite a bit of anorexia and bulimia (thanks Kate Moss) and pressure to have sex, but feminism wasn't a dirty word, there was a real sense women had no limitations on what they could do, and being a lesbian was cool and awesome and at least where I lived there was a lot of experimentation. I guess what I'm saying is millennials and Gen Z really need to see they're fighting the same battle against the age-old enemy and start working together. This "divide and conquer" approach that pits different generations of women against each other is just helping the patriarchy.
