  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

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

      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.

    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.

    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.

  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

    A lot of us “sensible” Americans either didn’t vote or voted for trump because “her derp black lady scary” so we deserve everything that is coming to us.

  The most shocking thing to this millennial is that some of my peers have children old enough to post on lemmy.

    Unfortunately, it completely tracks. If Dad was born in 85, has kid at 20, that kid is now 20. I’m pretty sure I have classmates whose kids are around that old now that I think about it.

  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.

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

  • DadVolante@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    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.
