And it is precisely because you’ve taught kids to identity with the 1% and be entranced by their own uniqueness that they do such stupid things to appear more individualistic.
The individualism has become so extreme that people are no longer accepting what men and women are anymore. If they can’t be in the 1% they’d rather be a complete freak - anything to avoid common people.
At the end of day it’s all capitalist individualism that market and free choices are greater than god, family, nation and all these collective institutions that oblige the individual to behave a certain way.
The true source of gender-bending is American exceptionalism, the left today are not communist and its the (ex)communist countries where you find gay people at the margins and women of a graceful type.

They would discover themselves starving and far from the liberal chaos espoused by Marxism a situation based on conservatism and forcing people would arise like nothing seen before.
The problem with capitalism is that it works too well. All the money and lowered survival stress produces a generation of obnoxious flanges entranced by their own uniqueness. Insecure, self-conscious and uncomfortable in their own skin - all the hallmarks of the bourgeois become the norm socially. The character of the middle classes is diametrically opposed to the conservative and timeless nature of the peasant. Everything else is a liberal.
