Take a deep breath and relax. As you said, it's a joke. Perhaps the real problem are the people who seemingly take everything to heart >_>

Thank you, IL. I agree with you 100%. I wrote, re-wrote, and re-wrote a reply before I finally opted for "if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all." It sounds like Cyborg is upset that people were using the word pussy incorrectly, and that some 13 year old kid called his friend gay. If the last thread is any indicator, she won't be back to justify her sweeping claims, particularly with anything more than ANECDOTAL experience.
The reason for the behavior described at length in this post (each generation thinks their children are the worst) is that it is based on individual experiences with certain children. If a longitudinal study were actually done on the differences between children now and children of the 1980s, 1970s, 1960s, I'd lend credence to the argument. As is, it's just another feminist rant about those crude boys, much akin to the 'pussy' post.
