Ellen, you basically just wrote my life (this far). Thank you, always, for offering different perspectives to help understand what it means for us to be in the middle of our lives, and how to step into the second half with humor, clarity, and strength.
Sounds similar to what Generation Jones went through.
Generation Jones generally refers to the cohort born between 1954 and 1965, acting as a "cusp" generation between Baby Boomers and Generation X. Coined by Jonathan Pontell, this group came of age during the 1970s and early 1980s, facing different economic realities than early Boomers, characterized by higher inflation and reduced optimism. - Google
Feminism and the people who fought hard for equality made space for women to have opportunities, educational, financial, and bodily autonomy. Women embraced these opportunities, worked very very hard, and expanded into these realms. Men (‘not all men’🙄) have not grown or expanded,
but continue to hold on tight to their privilege by rolling back behaviors, social norms, and policies. It needs to change, for the betterment of humanity, not just women.
Agree with you and Cathy and cara. Even though its bland Al stuff (ugh) it is me! Like you I relate to it but also it kind of feels...generic. It does do a good job of describing life as a GenXer though!

Me too. 💛
As a GenX woman, I agree 💯!

Feminism has destroyed millions of women's lives.

The patriarchal misogynists did that to women.
I’m a proud GenX woman!
That is why I feel a sense of overwhelming discontent, even if I feel connected to the post. It all comes back to AI monetization.
