Many people both old and new often share the common ground of bemoaning either the past, current or future generations. Y'all at one point in your lives at least knew an old man or woman that lamented at what they considered the good old days or knew someone in the current or future generations to come, that claim either their generation sucks or is better than the previous. Claiming that everything they did was original and new. Well after what I've witnessed over the years in various mediums across the net, I got one solid word for any and all generations.

BULLSHIT!!

The generations never changed. They just word things differently. Take the so called never ending battle against sexism over the past 2 centuries. One of the major topics that anti-sexism groups have complained about, both men and women and that technicolor rainbow inbetween, is that too many of their demographic gets objectified with thin re-assurance that the next generation cannot and will not do that again. This one makes me laugh the most and I'll tell you why.

Anyway you slice it, there is nothing you can't say that won't turn into something offensive in the next generation or further. That's the main meat of it. The words may change but the intention is the same.

For example. I'm gonna name a few words people used over time, that often meant the same thing.

Between the 1930s to the 1960s, rather than directly mention a body part the opposite sex is admiring they'd often use slurs or jargon that if heard out loud could not possibly mean anything lewd or creeper like. A man back then would gaze and compliment a woman's Gams, Backside and Balcony. If you went back in time and heard all that you'd be wondering what the fuck is he talking about.

Now let's take you, the man and that woman into a different timeline. The 1960s to the mid 2000s. That same man has no filter and instead of saying the above, he'd go right for the throat and leer and comment on her legs, ass and tits. Naturally someone like yourself whom is in the newest generation would definitely cry "Sexist" for that, but much of why this one is less offensive to me is for two reasons. 1. Much of why people said it, was because they could say it, it's that freedom of expression many people like to test especially with censorship being shattered at the time. 2. Both sexes gave as good as they got. If a guy was complimenting a woman's features, unless that woman wasn't into men, she'd most likely either compliment his features or insult any lack of as they perceive them. That's equality to me, the ability to be on the same level of niceness and vulgarity as everyone else.

Now let's go to the 2010s - 2020s. Words like Thicc sum it all up. That said, here's where the whole article comes to a head. Although people nowadays treat words like Thicc or Protecc, as if they're brand spankin' new, those words were never original. The misspelling aside the words like that written as they were, were originally developed by rap artists between the 90s and the 2000s. The very generation, the bulk of this generation claims to despise and try to correct. You all didn't take a step forwards, you didn't act cute or original. You basically read what others have done and took what you thought would seem trendy at the time. To put it plainer for a progressive generation, rather than moving forwards, you taken a massive step backwards. Using words that sound different but mean the same very shit you claim to fight against. And I'm not talking about just against sexism. All the major woes in the world can be summed up with this following mindset.

"I can't stand how people are treating each other, but I'm too lazy to do anything about it, so I'll just change the way they talk about it. Yay me. So Smart!! So Progressive!!"

Not only applies to sexual slurs, but racial slurs, orientation slurs, you name it, it's the same problem. Rather than actually try to solve the problem, find common ground and be nice to one and other. Generation upon generation instead just sweeps it under the rug saying "Screw it. Not my problem."

Sugarcoating it doesn't help, so why the fuck do you add sprinkles to this particular brand of sugar, when it's still just covering the same shit rather than getting rid of it?

If you're all serious about change, actually fight for fucking change. If I see a new word that takes place of the current trending word "Thicc" I know the world is doomed to failure. But just to save you time I offer a new word in case no one heeds my words. "Fiftee Twenty Fiftee" If you're gonna fuck up the language even further you may as well bastardize the stanard BWH Measurments while you're at it. Who knows you may just run some poor insecure person's life by calling them "Zeeroh Zeeroh Zeeroh" or "Wone Hundredd Wone Hundredd Wone Hundredd". Do these words sound lame to you? Good.

In all honesty, we've never really changed save for the advances in technology. The only thing that really changed was our now forever dwindling vocabulary.
