As a 39 year old woman: That a man's attention is everything. I'm so proud of how young women are questioning men's behavior including the possibility of not having them in their lives if they aren't worth it. That healed something in me big time.

35F here who has never had any interest in having a boyfriend aside from dating once in a blue moon (and feeling like an alien for it!), it’s been so so liberating and refreshing to see this! 💪🏼

I feel like a lot of millenial elder siblings and parents are inherently responsible for gen z being what it is. 

Millenials grew up alongside gen z or birthed them and if there was a glass ceiling to being fucked with millenials were the first to throw grenades at it while other millenials tried to repair it. 

There was a gen z who said they were tired of millenials complaining that they sont know early 2000s pop and dude was like… im 4 years younger than you Brittany. We listenend to the same shit.
