Teenage girls tougher than teenage boys nowadays

[IndividualMan]

I don't really follow and don't know exactly what you mean, I have other memories of what they did unrelated to this topic. Could you elaborate?

They sold the world, set the fire which is still burning on today. Weakened their respective states and strengthened figures around the globe who followed their policies, hollowing out governments, corrupting them on every level. Letting people get away with robbing their constituents blind on every purchase they made.

Believe it or not, strong governments were a good thing once upon a time. Ensured a steady increase in quality of life for the average working person. Held greedy creatures preying on your money in check. The rise of figures like Thatcher, Reagan and others following the neoliberal worldview made by the little midget fuck who calls himself an economist killed one of the greatest global economic developments humanity had ever seen.
Their policies slowed the economic and scientific progress of the Western world, while still siphoning the same amont of ressources out of the countries they subdued. They robbed and ravaged other countries, directly and indirectly, but not to make their own country richer, but to allow their friends to rob their own ountry more effectively.

They stole these kids future, so even if young men nowadays werent such fat, broken chuds due to the various factors others have named in this thread, they would still most likely get crushed due to economic policy decisions from the 80s.
You gotta be extremely resilient, intelligent or lucky to make it today. And by making it, I mean living a normal, respectable, stable life. Something that was a guarantee not even 30 years ago, assuming you werent a massive fuckup.

This trope is as old as time. I bet neanderthals sat around the fire grunting how the youngins can't hunt mammoths like they used to.

you've clearly never head of minimum wage minimum effort.

from the time you're talking about to now productivity had doubled and wages went up 10%

no one with any sense will display git, courage and suffer to make you rich instead of themselves.

the livening wage is over 54$ an hour
start offering that and those same pussies will find a way to work on 2 broken legs.

the reason why you get more women willing to put up with it,

is that same as to why they are still going to college
going into 100,000's of dollars debt when 9 times out of 10 there is no open positions in their field,

they have no sense when something is a fucking scam.

Totally agree but something feels different about these new generations. Every generation has had it easier than the last as technology improves. The difference I see now is not only are things easier, but there's an attitude of deserving success rather than earning it. It seems like I hear a lot about fairness. Work ethic isn't as prevalent as it used to be. Things like volunteering for extra hours to stand out to get promoted or working above and beyond what's expected.

It sounds meaner than it is, but throughout my kids life I'd occasionally give one a treat like candy or a cookie or whatever. When the other would see it and say "that's not fair I want one too", I'd always respond that the world's not fair. No one deserves something just because someone else got something. How can you earn a treat. I know every parent sees their kids in the best light possible but I really believe things like this have made a difference in the effort they put into life. There's a noticeable difference when they stay at friends houses and their friends leave plates and dishes for their parents to clean up and my kids always take responsibility and clean up their own mess. Just little things like that I guess.

Work ethic still exists but it's rare and also not rewarded anymore. People aren't promoted for their hard work. They're promoted because they've been there longer or are popular with the management. Honestly I guess I understand the lack of going the extra mile if there's no reward at the finish line. Pride in a job well done eventually fades with no recognition. We'll damn. I guess the world's just screwed all around.
