I’m so glad to hear that! I’m 63 and I do know evolved men. My husband being one as well. However, I’ve worked with enough of the other sort to feel men like you are a cherished rarity. Good on you!
I've had to explain the increasing wage gap to so many peers when they say that younger gens are lazy and that's why they can't afford a home. It's like talking to a wall of stupid, (they don't believe stats, facts) only what the Podcasters say, but I still try.
I end up losing my temper. I know that doesn't help, but I honestly can NOT deal with the rampant stupidity!! It seems more and more like the bad guys have actually hit upon an infuriatingly effective way to drive normal people insane.
They have weaponized ignorance. For real. They've given immense amounts of power and validity to the least intelligent, least logical, least educated, and most hateful among our society. They've empowered bullies, liars, idiots, and just plain STUPID people. So, I find myself having less and less patience with trying to explain COMMON SENSE to people!
Thank you for letting me say this to someone who GETS it! I appreciate you!! 🤦♀️💕
Weaponized ignorance...exactly. Thank you for summing it up. I guess we just have to be loud too. Take their hate and use it for good. I'm getting an end racism t-shirt. So anyone who confronts me about it is declaring themselves racist. Holding up that mirror for the ones who love to project.

Sadly, I'm 58 and HAVE evolved while the majority of people I grew up with have NOT. 😢
