How the fuck is that ageist? It's a known fact that most adults were physically abusive to children until recently. And that doesn't mean they were sadists, because they faced enormous pressure to keep their kids in line and this is what they were told to do, especially to boys. That doesn't imply that they are like that just because of their age.

You said the experiences of the people in the USA of multi generations over more than 100 years I cited all occurred

back in the olden days.

That's ageism. You seem to think that only people of your own age/generation and very narrow experience and specific cultural milieu count and constitute the norm.

Are you saying we should take action to solve problems for a completely different time period? That doesn't make any sense.
