is it ignorance or naivety or a combination of both to think that life was better and easier in the past?

I'm still trying to wrap my head around it like do people really prefer the crappy lives we all left behind?

morality is not the cause of your frustration

Nah, it's certainly the cause of the OP's frustration

Society is still dictating to people and telling them who they are, society has just changed requirements and widened the scope of judges.

Today, society is dictating that virginity is outdated and acceptance is only based on your willingness to have sex out of wedlock. Society is telling you if you aren't clubbing and smoking, then you aren't living life. Society is telling you that being a babymama is fine, and people should not be held accountable for their actions.

Today, society is glorifiying criminality because the government and politicians have made things 'difficult'. Today, society is telling women the skimpier the clothes and the lighter their shades, then the easier they can be accepted. Society is telling women that theie bodies are ugly and they need to constantly change it for the approval of men, society is spreading the belief that old age is unnatural, that every sign of aging is like a disease that must be cured by surgery or 'skin care'. Society is telling women that their vaginas are more important than their brains, and telling men that you don't need to be a human being, as long as you have money.


Society is selling depression in large doses.People are feeling sad, people feel unwanted, people feel pressured to be who they are not, to please people who don't care about them. Yes, this generation is having such a great time with civilization. Peep the suicide figures for a greater appreciation of modernity

So instead of trying to move forward, your solution is to take us a 100 years back? Like it or not each era has it's bittersweet moments and will always do

you can find other examples with which to prove youe point, positive examples. The instances you gave have not differed, or are men not still trying to tell women what to do with their bodies? I'm sure you've heard of the anti-abortion laws being created in USA, how does that differ from what obtained in the past? Are majority legislators not men?

I'm just telling you, things aren't as rosy as you made them out to see, many of those things persist and some have even worsened.

Am I really choosing, if my choice is made under duress? Am I really choosing, if my choice is borne out of a need to be accepted by people? Is that free will?

Do you know how many womem have been pressured into losing their virginities because all their friends are doing it? Do you know how many people feel disgusted with themselves for giving themselves away like that?

What is your definition of free will? Because a lot of you do not understand the psychological undertones in these things. When your mind has been enslaved, you do not have free will. Free will is a farce in today's world.

Deep.

At least it's better than the past, i don't know about you but I love this generation with passion, yes there are flaws but that's life, it's not supposed to be rosy
