My parents are divorced. It definitely has had an impact on me getting married.

If I find the right person, I'll pull the trigger. If I don't, I don't. As far as I'm concerned this is the only life I have and I'm not going through it trying to make some nagging bitch happy, even if it means forsaking the joys of parenting.

There will always be mindsets that are more prevalent in generations. That's why they are generations afterall. There are major cultural shifts depending on the political, social, whatever climate of the world at the time, and it has a massive impact on how people are raised. Every generation makes a lot of mistakes as a whole, some more than others.

It's taken from The Matrix, which was referencing Alice in Wonderland. The blue pill is believing what you're told, accepting the media and popular culture narrative as the truth (stay in wonderland). The red pill is to question that paradigm and explore whether said narrative may not only be dishonest, but harmful to society as a whole (see how deep the rabbit hole goes).

If there's one thing millenials really enjoy doing, it's spending time on the internet seeking deeper meanings for things. Millenials love hidden "easter eggs" in movies, and look for symbolism everywhere. They are naturally completely distrustful of the media. This causes millenials to be prone to extremes in every direction. In the case of relationships, that lends itself to extremes of masculinity, immasculinity, femininity, feminism, and androgyny. Basically, because they trust nothing, they make their own standards, which are all over the flipping map.

Values and what is considered "common sense" varies greatly depending on how one was raised. How one was raised depends nearly entirely on the values of their parents, the culture of their surrounding community, and the environment of the times. Children who grew up doing "duck and cover" drills in school had different experiences and thus learned different life lessons than those who watched the Twin Towers fall live in their 5th grade English class. Those who grew up in a 2 parent household with a stay-at-home mom in the 70's have a different upbringing than a latchkey kid in the social media age.

Generations thus are a helpful tool by demarking when people had access to what technology at what times. Social media, cell phones, the internet, "zero-tolerance" policies in public schools, corporeal punishment, 21 vs 18 year old drinking age, marijuana decriminalization, NAPSTER, 24 hour news, the Sexual Revolution, serial killers, the crack epidemic, Great Society, the Great Depression, World War II, Vietnam, expansion of the War on Drugs, the rise and fall of Communism, etc. All of these political, technological, and social movements had a massive impact on the upbringing of children depending on when they were born.

While I find our generational divisions a little suspect and arbitrary, it does not make them completely without value.

Millenials are cord cutters where as gen x watches what the "media" wants you to see.

If you watch a few hours of tv a day you'll become a cuck within weeks

In my news feed all these cucks seem to be in their 20's so I don't know what you are watching but I know you're incorrect. We openly revolted against the love everyone hippy wanna be father's from the 60s. Now we see our sons revolting against us and being all melty and snowflakey.
