    Most parents/adults don’t know how to treat the opposite sex either though.

      As someone who’s worked in retail, a ton of people don’t know how to treat humans like anything other than objects.

        Right… everyone trying to make this a gender thing is missing the forest for the trees.

          I mean, the gender thing is also an issue. Two things can be part of the same problem.

        A lot of changes is society have come up in the last couple of generations. Changes equality, sexual freedoms, modern parenting, men’s roles at home, women’s role at work, etc. Many of my parent’s generation really do not know the first things about changing roles and expectations of the sexes and what people of the current generation want. Most people I know of that generation are (mildly to extremely) socially conservative. I get along great with my parents and I happily welcome them to live with me for 5 months of every year… But I would never have the teach anyone in my generation the lessons from their generation (I do speak to them about these things out of interest, but more to talk about how different the culture is between or generations now).

          Alright, tell your kids it’s fine to fuck around with their bodies and people’s feelings and find out, then.

          Being able to build trust and find lifelong companionship is a skill surely lacking in youth, but arrogance is clearly not.
