The jokes just write themselves. But seriously, the more this kind of thing makes you scratch your head, the more you should ask the real question, which is: why do these coddled, sheltered snowflakes think like Dark-Age European peasants, whose thinking (if that is the word) was conditioned by moment-to-moment survival?
That group of people seems insane and dangerous to me. I'm hard-pressed to think of even a single one of them who doesn't come off that way, or as a straight-up crook.
But I keep in mind the adage that "everyone seems crazy if you don't understand their point of view" and try to remember that I clearly don't understand them even a little.
