It's funny because my grandpa called us pussies for playing in man made safe playgrounds instead of in the woods. Every generation will think the next one is coddled.
- jansan 3y agoAfter my 15yo son when hiking with friends to sleep in caves without a tent I do not call him a pussy anymore. It actually made me feel that I forgot to live properly when I way young.
- superb_dev 3y agoDid you call him a pussy before??
- PH95VuimJjqBqy 3y agogetting called a pussy by your parents is a rite of passage in the US. /hint: I'm lying.

- impossiblefork 3y agoWell, if there's a progressive increase in coddling and formalisation of play, certainly. But perhaps once these practices begin to be reversed, people will feel that it's terrifying that the children are suddenly independent and not incredibly passive and cowardly.
- Tade0 3y agoIt's happening already. Many people perceive children as "spoiled" whereas in fact they're simply not as passivated as the previous generation.

- impossiblefork 3y agoThat's really good to hear, but I hope you go much further than you have imagined, getting to some kind of Norway or Sweden level, or beyond it, to drive us back to where we ought to be.
- PH95VuimJjqBqy 3y agowell I grew up running around in the woods, your grandfather isn't wrong, but not everyone has access to them.
