New Release Review - "My Old Ass" 
It's not so long ago that children were expected to be seen and not heard. Grownups knew best, and youngsters better listen to what they have to say. Things have flipped so much now that the idea of an older person imparting life advice to someone younger has become something of a taboo, along the lines of "mansplaining." Young people should indeed listen to their elders, because the latter have been around a longer and have experienced more of life. But older people have also made more mistakes than youngsters, and they're often set in their ways. It's important for the young to listen to the old, but they should never blindly follow their advice. Ignoring the previous generation is how society evolves. If we never questioned our elders women wouldn't be allowed to vote, black people would still be in chains and gay people wouldn't be allowed to exist.
