What really bugs me is that what was "normal" 20-30 years ago is now viewed as a minority of backwards thinking dinosaurs. And the new normal is what was viewed as crazy eccentric the same amount of time ago.
The script has been flipped, and not for the better. I agree with the OP. I'm glad I'm closer to the finish line than the starting point, but I worry about my two sons. God only knows what they are going to have to deal with on their path. As two heterosexual caucasian males, they will likely get the crappy end of the stick at every turn.
