Is today's youth over sensitive, mollycoddled and intellectually
pathetic? Does the scourge of political correctness threaten the
very fabric of our nations? Yes, and yes! comes the cry of the
incensed politician, columnist, comedian, disgruntled father, and
baby boomer. Dubbed the 'snowflake generation', these
hypersensitive cowards are up in arms about silly things like
bathrooms smeared with faeces in the shape of Swastikas, climate
change, and statues of colonisers being kept in their natural
habitats of universities and town squares. They make obstinate
requests like wondering if a vegan option might be available, or if
you could (please) use their correct pronouns. In response to this
outrage, writer and Washington Post pop culture host Hannah Jewell
has decided to write a book to explain why being a snowflake might
not be a bad thing. It might even make the world a better place.
Subversive, provocative and very funny, Hannah explains how,
shockingly, despising the generation that comes after your own
isn't actually a new thing, and why it's good for students (and
indeed the rest of us) to kick off. She shows how you can instill
resilience in children without having to live through a war or be
made to eat octopus; and provides a handy guide to how you - yes,
you! - can also become a snowflake and help to make the world a
kinder, more empathetic place.
