If a young person calling you a "boomer" is as upsetting to you as an older person dismissing a younger persons experience whose just trying to make their way through life the best way that they can without being made to feel like shit for it, then I don't know what to say.

It's like your asking me why it's wrong to strike a 5 year old when they struck first?

If the answer isn't obvious to you, then I can't help.
