I have come to regard the “everyone so sensitive today” discourse as literal background chatter because for as long as I can remember people have been saying this. “Ah you could never get away with that today” like yes society does seem to be growing and changing don’t it and the sky is up there yet, and the rock’s still hard.
Sure you can’t call people a n-word anymore, but at least now black people are allowed to wash their hands in the same wash basin and you can show interracial kisses on TV.
Sure you can’t jail people for being gay anymore, but at least they are allowed to be who they are and even adopt an orphan.
Sure you can’t hit your wife anymore, but at least they now have the right to vote and can start their own bank account without a mans approval.
We are currently more free than before, just not for a particular group of people.
