This.
I mean, I'm all for earning your place though. I didn't just get placed into an mgmt position when I got out of school, I was a network bitch and busted ass for 5 years before getting any real acknowledgment. I generally don't "get my hands dirty" in my position now, and I don't really care to anymore. I make more money, and have more responsibilities accordingly, even if I don't do the hands on work anymore, other than helping folks pick up slack occasionally.
I do see what you are saying in relation to "a mans role" in modern times, and whatnot, and agree there seems to be an influx in "whiny-ass pansies" with this most recent generation. However this is not 100 years ago, and you can't compare the two. Most normal breeding humans want to make life better for the following generations, and help them avoid some of the struggles or pitfalls they had coming into their own. I think one of the key issues is over-nurturing on the parental side, alleviating one of almost all responsibility and breeding a false sense of self-importance and entitlement.
