That rubs older generations the wrong way because they tend to hate (or fear) a lot of things Apparently this casual ageism is "punching up" and therefore fine

Apparently this casual ageism is "punching up" and therefore fine.
- standardUser 4y agoI've always considered the "generations" thing to be more of a state of mind than strictly age-based. Plenty of younger people have a similar fear-based, tradition-bound outlook as actual Boomers. Also, punching up/down is about status and older people do not automatically receive a higher status, so it's really not an example of "punching up".
