Back to the last point, older millennials are young enough to understand there are many ways we’ve done things for many years that aren’t right, but a little too old to know just what those things are. They aren’t ahead of the curve on identifying a new way we must eliminate oppressing and sexist and racist and inappropriate traditions. They’re always just behind it, frantically scrambling to delete Tweets and emails after learning they may have said or done something they weren’t supposed to. I can’t count the number of 40-something men who’ve said they wonder when the ax will drop on them in the #MeToo movement. Meanwhile, young millennial men know just what to do to make sure that never happens.
The younger generation disdains the 9 to 5 life. They wrongfully bash the 9 to 5 corporate life, believing it’s the death of the soul. They’re all driving Uber while pursuing a passion project with no plan for retirement, and many without health insurance.
Were things really better for our grandmothers, or did they just tolerate more out of obligation versus choice?

Here are signs that you're one--whether you want to admit it or not.
