What do you think are the major pros/cons of each current generation?

So far, this thread has been a good example of one of my positive points about boomers: they will actually stick around and debate if they can see you also have some fire in your belly.

On the other hand, most millennials lack this ability, so most boomers don't respect them, and neither do most of their own female peers. As for the latter, it's generally pretty easy to just...made millennial women respect you. They don't respond to explanations or even accomplishment. They respond to people who believe they reserve respect and telling them what the boundaries are.

ex:
millennial woman: "ugh, that's so patriarchal!"
me: "yes. exactly"
millennial woman: "wait...what?!"
me: "look around you. you're a feminist, you've dated male feminists, your parents both taught you to be feminist your whole life...how's that worked for you?"
millennial girl: "uh..."
me: "right, it's a bunch of nonsense that has been failing us for 30 years. call me whatever you like"

I've had well over 10 iterations of similar conversations. millennial women who will chide liberal males who try to explain why they're not sexist will leave me alone after a single conversation and even respect me more for it, because they associate explanations with excuses and weakness. Don't get me wrong though, I blame women for holding in contempt what they continually say they want just as much as I blame men for throwing away their dignity and pandering to get female approval. You have dishonesty from one party, and lack of self-respect from the other.
