My millennial dad on Facebook:

  For those of us not from the star spangled lands:

  The Nineteenth Amendment (Amendment XIX) to the United States Constitution prohibits the United States and its states from denying the right to vote to citizens of the United States on the basis of sex, in effect recognizing the right of women to vote.

  So OPs dad is a sexist prick.

  FWIW, this is my opinion as a millennial.

    He could be arguing that US needs to take away the right to vote from men. So sexist, but misandrist instead of misogynist. He’s not, obviously, but in theory he could be. I see an argument in favour from where I’m sitting.

      Screw it. Take away the right to vote from both men and women. Only those born intersex will have the franchise!

      Now there is an interesting thought experiment. What would that kind of government look like?

      Not take it away for good; just take it away like mom takes away television privileges for a week so I can learn my lesson.

      A fair point to that is women's voting and leadership tend to lead to more peaceful and fruitful governance

  Now that we have an executive order stating that everyone is a woman, this gets more interesting.

  I would argue that should be more than mildly infuriating.

  The year you were born does not define your views. I detest these arbitrary year-based labels.

  • puchaczyk@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Yeah, but there’s a stereotype that conservatism is only a boomer thing, so OP providing an example of a millennial also having a shitty view actually helps.

      Screw it! We need to go younger. That’s right, it’s Logan’s Run time! Everyone over 30 gets euthanized. And I say this as someone over 30 myself.

    Oh, I absolutely agree. I included that just to be more descriptive.

    • tias@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      But by including that you imply that there is a causality relationship. You didn’t share his hair color even if that would also be more descriptive.

    The year you were born does not define your views.

    But it can serve to predict it.

    Whilst any individual within an arbitrary age bracket can be anything, trends and statistics for those age brackets can be measured and proven.

    This is true for age with a much stronger effect than hair colour, because of the material impact it has on the cultural, economic and environmental factors which inform a person’s assumptions, experience and perception of norms.

      this is the same logic used to justify racism fwiw

  I feel sorry for sensible Americans at the moment, they’re in for a rough time. Too many absolute toolsheds in the states.

    It honestly made me doubt everything I believed about democracy. Not saying go the other way, but man to people vote on emotion and short term gains vs using their brains at all

  Condolences to your dear mother.

    My mom is his long term mistress. I was an affair baby. 🙃she knows and supports the kind of man he is.

      Condolences rescinded with extreme prejudice. I hope they have bad luck and a lot of life insurance willed to you.

  This is your dad on Facebook. Thanks for clarifying his age classification in the headline as if it was the cause of his bigotry. Really great content we’re putting out here Lemmy.

    I’m a millennial and I think it’s fine. We need to stop acting like it’s only boomers doing this shit.

    Just say you’re middle aged and this offends you instead of bitching about the entire platform.

    Our generation has a LOT to own up to that we pass on to Gen X and the Boomers.

    source
  • callouscomic@lemm.ee ⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    In the US, we would all likely presume Boomer or at least older. So it is context against that normal expectation due to stereotypes.

  Is this in reference to Juneteenth?

  • bluesunset@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    No, to the 19th amendment. 😭

    • TransplantedSconie@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨hour⁩ ago

      I’m pretty sure if I even voiced a smidgen of what this said, my wife would literally make me disappear. What a douche-canoe.
