I will say there is a definite heightened sensitivity to words in today's college versus what we had as Gen X. Mind you, my generation was shitted on as kids and in our first jobs by Boomers who lorded over us how much better, smarter and disciplined they were (bullshit). And then we now parent the kids telling us we don't know crap and are luddites on tech (note, we were the Atari kids). All of that said, my two daughters are college age and, wonderfully, they have very robust vocabularies which serves well for fun, intellectual debates. Unfortunately, they get emotional when certain statements are made; they haven't developed the necessary thick skin to not take heated talk personal. That right there is missing in a lot of young folk today. I won't blame wokism; that's a bullshit argument for hidden racism. Instead, it's trying to be too nice for the sake of nice and missing the fact that sometimes life is hard and you need too buck up to deal with it. Younger people are missing that key strength Gen X has too much of, and why we regularly get accused of being blunt or rude.
