I think the need to overcome adversity is so ingrained in us that we will make up adversity where none is present just to make ourselves feel like we are overcoming something.  That is how I see the SJW, multigender, 973 sexualities, whatever, that is going on now.  These kids have never had to face a real struggle and they are now creating their own struggles out of thin air.</blockquote>
