I grew up with this as a basic reality of childhood: “ sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me” it actually made being a kid easier. Now it’s like words are deadly.

Yup. No one can cope with anything that makes them slightly uncomfortable.
Hahaha!!! You sound like me ranting at my 20 year old girls. But thank you despite your elevated bp it’s refreshing to hear someone else feeling the same way
Well, they did say the pen is mightier than the sword!
Sticks and stones may break my bones, but a bullet to the face will kill you. That's my version.

When we allowed.women to dictate what men could be.
Testosterone has been steadily decreasing in men for decades. Some people think it's diet. Vaccines, perhaps? Personally, I wouldn't be surprised if it's because of women's rights. Without men needing to take care of women in a political/work environment of men competing with men, the world became feminized. Could also simply be because jobs don't require manual labour much anymore.
We appear to be evolving into a weaker species.
