      I really doubt this story and, regardless, find it absurd that people would consider it typical of millennials.

      Yeah, the fact that it blew up on Twitter says almost nothing about millennials, at least not in a statistically meaningful way. But it says a lot about what _the zeitgeist wants to believe_ about millennials.

      Perhaps only a tiny percentage of millennials are like this; but 100 percent of the people like this are millennials?

      This is gen z - not millennial. Millennials are kind of old now and pretty normal.

      Whatev. Same thing. It's not typical of the entire generation.

      I think Wesley’s point is that society may have changed in some way. Were any GenXers ever like this? I really don’t know.

          My point is that it's nonsense to think that, that this girl (assuming she existed) is not typical.
