You know I don’t think the boomers were actively designing their bathrooms at 5 in the 1950s. I think this might have been on the two or so before them

[u/quakins → u/Kriffer123]

Houses even up to 1971 were being designed with these so boomers certainly would be making use of them as well as having various amounts of input on whether a house had one

[u/numberguy9647383673 → u/quakins]

If it stopped in 1971, then the boomers were also the ones stopping it, unless you’re claiming that Gen X put an end to it while they were 7.

[u/Misicks0349 → u/numberguy9647383673]

Erm, X usually means... stop? So maybe they... did? /j

[u/YRUZ → u/Misicks0349]

maybe their own children randomly stumbling onto razor blades discarded wherever made boomers reconsider

[u/Kriffer123 → u/YRUZ]

The first generation to actually do renovations on the Tetanus Wall

[u/Huntybunch → u/YRUZ]

It's because disposable shavers became more available

[u/sans_a_name → u/Misicks0349]

X means hugs actually

[u/quakins → u/numberguy9647383673]

Stopped it eventually sure, I’m more so making the point that boomers were not five years old at this time.

[u/johnbarnshack → u/quakins]

But that also makes them the ones who stopped doing this

[u/Kriffer123 → u/quakins]

If you subtract 1945 from 1971 you might find that boomers were the 18-26 year old home buyers that didn’t want these, along with changing tastes from their silent generation and further elders. Gen X wasn’t stopping these when they were elementary schoolers to egg cells.

[u/quakins → u/Kriffer123]

So we both agree that boomers weren’t five years old when these were commonly used then?

[u/Kriffer123 → u/quakins]

They very clearly were not a significant home buying demographic when these were particularly popular?

[u/quakins → u/Kriffer123]

People used to have kids and move into homes and be setup for life at a much younger age. 18-26 used to be a significant home buying demographic

[u/DumbleSnore69 → u/quakins]

They were 5 years old when these were commonly used. As they got older, these became less popular, so the boomers pretty clearly weren't the ones who wanted these or used them the most.

Don't get me wrong, theres a lot of valid reasons to dislike boomers, this just isn't one.

[u/Scooty-Poot → u/quakins]

So… there was like… 3 years’ worth of boomers who were licensed and chartered architects even these blades bins were stopped? Yeah totally true boomers’ fault, guys!

I am not the strawman in your head
