In my observation, a big part of social progress is each generation pointing out the hypocrisy of the previous. "All men are created equal" so how can you enslave black people? If men can vote, why can't women? How come straight people can marry but gay people can't? How is it fair to send an 18 year old to war but not let him vote?

A lot of these hypocrisies were so internalized that a lot of people of previous generations never even thought about them. It was like a mental blind spot. It took young people with fresh thinking to point them out and fight to fix them.

So, speaking as a Millenial, I'm asking what my generation's blind spots are. What injustices are we perpetuating without even thinking much about it?

For reference, Millenials are currently in their late 20s to early 40s. Not running the world, but also not fresh eyed college grads.

I would've been a vegan 100% if I could at all eat soy and legumes. I've had a godly meal once at a vegan friend's house, it was so delicious, but I can't eat that regularly sadly. I stick to chicken and fish though, no other animal proteins in my diet. Can't wait for lab-grown meat to push out all the rest honestly.
