It is true the Boomers fought for the freedom for their kids to have lots of choices about lifestyles, sexual identity, careers ... generally, they tried to make it so their kids would not face discrimination. But on the flip side, by being Helicopter Parents, they have raised up some fairly boring and risk averse people. So, in spite of trying to pave the path for permanent sustainability for the fruits of the 2T Social Revolution, they raised up a bunch of robots.
In my experience the helicoptering has been far more of an Xer parent thing (over-compensating for being neglected as kids) than a Boomer parent thing.
But I grew up in a working class rural area, which are some of the last places to be penetrated by social changes started by affluent college-educated urban people.
