I have noticed this as well, but I don’t believe it’s due to ‘hidden sexual trauma’. I believe they have a disdain for a world that’s totally different from the one in which they grew up. The world they knew was quite a bit more conservative. As one of the previous posters mentioned, there were certain subjects that were simply not spoken of in public. In today’s world, everything that was ‘taboo’ to them is out on display. I also think they see themselves as being disrespected by the younger generation. They’re not given respect simply because they’re older, as they were taught to do. Finally, I believe that economics may play a part. For example, I’m 31 years old and probably make more money now than many older people have ever made. I’m sure this situation is true in many cases. We youngsters may be seen as undeserving of our success because we didn’t ‘put in our time’. Even though we now live more in a performance-based world than a seniority-based one (as far as the workplace), they still have a seniority-based view (this could also tie into the respect issue). All I’ve said basically comes down to this one statement: they’re having a very difficult time adapting to a fast-changing environment.
