Sympathy for what? This is about women being able to divorce their husbands now and support themselves, so it's happening later in life for a generation that got married early and didn't really have this option to separate cleanly.
If anything this is a good thing. It means women aren't* trapped in marriages with shitty men forever. I don't care what you think about any specific generation, that's a good trend for everyone.
Edit: typo
Didn't have this option? If you are in your 50s you were born in the 70s and you were married in the 90s. Did everyone forget time was a thing?
If you're in your 50s you're Gen X, not Baby Boomer. Millennials are 30s and early 40s now.
The youngest boomers are 59. But the whole concept of generation labeling is arbitrary and stupid.
The stigma on divorce is significantly reduced now from what it was even like 20-30 years ago. It's also easier for women to support themselves in general on top of being more normalized.
Also, boomers are more like 59-77 now. Did YOU forget time was a thing?
Citation needed.
Talking about 50+ crowd. Get it together.
Sorry your argument is bad.
I was alive then. I guess you weren't. Not surprising considering your immature reply. Have the life you deserve.
Try asking questions and gathering data instead of "guessing". You might live longer. Have the life my tax dollars are paying for.
