Don't let the entire Baby Boomer generation off the hook...they encouraged their kids to not grow the fuck up, or take their own risk, start their own businesses, fight for a place in the economy.

Touche. They also deified the rock concert by elevating Woodstock to a religious experience. Lots of young people ended up with drug addictions, trying to "find themselves" in a bag of magic mushrooms. The celebration of momentary feelings, as opposed to a long-term direction or plan. What could be more feminine that that?
The current political winds are a slap in the face to the aging boomers - and I know rocks them to the core. It's a national (and international rebuke) to the world they created.
