So I am an adult, and a parent, for a while now.
The people who told me "I would understand <insert bullshit behavior>" when I paid my own bills/had kids?
Yeah, they're still full of shit.

One thing I really despise about people's political views is how often they bring bad parenting memes into them.
"You're not QUALIFIED to say!"
"This is such immature nonsense."
"You're not a veteran/woman/CEO/economist/PoC, so what do you know?"
These "arguments" are drivel.

And if you still let your folks/teachers/whoever off the hook for that shit and USE IT, the same nonsense can hit you just as effectively.
Because that's not a very competent stance.

(Side note: competence is not a prerequisite for participation in a democracy.)
