Put it this way, without feminism the only women who get into politics and public life are the ones who manage to contort themselves into the tiny window of acceptable public femaleness under patriarchy.
Let's have more feminism, most of the writings of the group i've described are markedly anti-feminism and it's absurd to see women dump on their own gender for no other reason than a spot on Bill oreilly and the like.
50% female representation, no taxation without representation.

Gen X's Elvis shot himself in the head. That's all I remember, oh and my first vote left put Roger Douglas in power.

Nah, Jeremy, I just think that some women are twatcocks, and have been from birth. No penis envy needed.
No, the rational ladies always bring something to the table that I like, ladies politics.
I support feminism, left and large because I want my 2 year old daughter to be in a truely equal society. Just saying , "isn't it great
we have lady crazies now too in politics" is a nowhere statement.Right wing ladies...oh no.

So, STFU those folk who make unwarranted generalisations.
Gen x and Gen y are deficient in economic resources compared to the next available block to compare.O.K.
That doesn't mean you are wealthy , in fact any study of wealth distribution would endorse your point of view that most folks have fuck all.
But there are asset-holding proportions and voting trends in the older blocks that can't be ignored and there is 2 generations who have never seen a left government in operation.
But all these generations, we are all just monkeys with different primary school teachers and different finance ministers at different key strategic points in your life.

and funnily enough Iggy and Joe are more punk icons. I know its probably more reflective to consider where you are in the first twenty years of your life than these silly generational terms , but these groupings have their usefulness , that's why we do census.
There is some desire out there in academic land to form a new generational grouping for 1957 - 1967. The Punk Rock Generation?

all my first musical heroes are babyboomers, Iggy, Keith, John Lennon,Jimmy Morrison,Joe Strummer.
Iggy Pop and Joe Strummer would be the only babyboomers in that lineup...
You might be seriously rewriting social history if you credit Keith Richards to the greatest generation.Maybe Britian started a bit early but technically yes by being a wartime birth you aren't even though you most certainly are.
