I don’t mean to dispute the main point of your article, but you know I’m a Boomer, and I feel hurt when people use the label for my generation as an insult.

I really do. It feels like ageism to me. I fought for queer rights and women’s rights and progressive causes all my life. So have most of my friends who are the same age I am.

Just sayin’; it gets tiresome to feel dismissed because of my age, especially when I’m working as hard or harder than many people in younger generations.
