Millennials Don\u2019t Care About Cars and Sex, Prefer Phones<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: I mentioned at the top of the program.<\/a> You know, we talk about Millennials and younger people and the cultural upheaval, cultural change happening in America.  I\u2019ll tell you honestly.  When I saw a story some years ago that young men and boys in today\u2019s Millennial generation, fewer and fewer of them have any interest in cars — fewer and fewer have any interest in owning one — I said, “Now that\u2019s remarkable.  That is significant,” because every generation…<\/p>\n

There isn\u2019t a generation of Americans yet that didn\u2019t have a significant contingent of the young male population wantin\u2019 a bike — wantin\u2019 a bicycle, motorcycle or car.  Mostly a car.  And wanting a cool car!  A souped-up car.  Not just some electric thing to get from Point A to Point B.  When I saw that there was dwindling interest in that, I said, “Well, this is significant.” Then there\u2019s this.  Washington Post.  The headline: “There Isn\u2019t Really Anything Magical About It:  Why More Millennials Are Avoiding Sex.” <\/p>\n

“Sam Wei, a 26-year-old financial analyst in Chicago, has not had sex since her last relationship ended 18 months ago. She makes out with guys sometimes, and she likes to cuddle.”  But she hasn\u2019t had sex.  I\u2019m trying to think back when I was 26 if I would ever see a story like this in the Southeast Missourian, which was the hometown newspaper in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, when I was growing up.<\/line><\/p>\n

Would I ever see a story on a 26-year-old woman in town discussing the last time she had sex.  I don\u2019t think I would have seen it.  But today, I mean, this is commonplace.  And it\u2019s fascinating.  So here we now have a story in the Post where yet another unique characteristic of millennials is there\u2019s no great shakes about sex, what\u2019s the big deal?  A 26-year-old financial analyst from Chicago has not had sex since her last relationship ended 18 months ago.  She makes out with guys sometimes.  And she likes to cuddle. <\/p>\n

You mean in the millennial population cuddling doesn\u2019t lead to anything?  It\u2019s tragic.  It is.  This is tragic.  Especially for Planned Parenthood.  You\u2019ve got to have pregnancies if you\u2019re going to keep that place alive and to have pregnancies you\u2019ve gotta have people having sex. <\/p>\n

But I digress.  This is Sam Wei: “To me, there\u2019s more intimacy with having someone there next to you that you can rely on without having to have sex.  I don\u2019t want to do anything that would harm the relationship and be something that we can\u2019t come back from.”<\/p>\n

So sex is one of those things once you go there you can\u2019t go back.  So sex is one of these things that might cause upheaval in a relationship.  I have a clue for her.  That\u2019s not new.  It isn\u2019t new.  That\u2019s always been the — you know, that has really always been a factor.  Male and female best friends.  If you cross the line — well, it\u2019s statistically proven — cross the line and you move from friendship to intimacy you can\u2019t get the friendship back.  It\u2019s just not the same.  The same thing as this.  You can be friends with benefits.  That exists, friends with benefits.  But then you meet somebody other than your friend and then the friends with benefits thing has to come to an end.  “Says who?”  I know. <\/p>\n

<\/a>How about this?  Male and female best friends.  No sex involved.  One of the two meets somebody, gets engaged.  What happens to the original male\/female best friendship?  It is over.  It is over.  Why is it over?  Somebody\u2019s going to get jealous.  But what if there\u2019s nothing to get jealous of?  What if that male\/female best friendship, no sex, and even after one or two in that friendship gets married — (interruption) No, we\u2019re talking straights here.  I\u2019m not going to get into gays yet.  That\u2019s a whole different dynamic.  I agree.  It can\u2019t hold up.  It can\u2019t survive.  The male\/female best friendship can\u2019t survive once one of them gets married.  And the reason is that that means that one of them is knowingly every day openly, theoretically, having sex with somebody else.  It just changes everything. <\/p>\n

Well, I don\u2019t know that this is exclusively women are too jealous.  I think it\u2019s more this:  I\u2019m going to get into deep doo-doo for this.  But I have always doubted the genuineness of male-female best friendships.  I\u2019ve always thought you can\u2019t do that, because we know what men really want here.  But it can\u2019t survive it.  It can\u2019t survive it.  Like one of them getting married, it can\u2019t survive it.  You have a best friend and you\u2019re a guy, guy best friend, get married, your friendship holds up.  Unless your wife doesn\u2019t like your best friend, then you can wave him goodbye. <\/p>\n

So the millennials are tortured here.  According to the Washington Post: “It\u2019s a less sexy time to be young than it used to be, despite millennials\u2019 reputation as bed-hoppers frolicking like the characters on “Girls.” A study published Tuesday in the journal Archives of Sexual Behavior –” which reminds me I need to renew my subscription, the Journal Archives of Sexual Behavior, “– finds that younger millennials — born in the 1990s — are more than twice as likely to be sexually inactive in their early 20s as the previous generation was. Even older millennials are more sexually active than this younger group is.”<\/p>\n

If you read deep enough you\u2019ll find that\u2019s all related to the cell phone.  That people are having much more interpersonal satisfaction and they\u2019re being rewarded much more by virtue of interaction on their phone.  That\u2019s what the story says.  That online, being connected, cell phone, what have you, has replaced having sex. I did think that this was the hook-up generation. <\/p>\n

Have you heard about the Supreme Court blocking a ruling that let transgender students use whatever bathroom they wanted to use in Virginia?  <\/p>\n

SCOTUS Blocks Ruling on Transgender Bathrooms<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: This is kind of interesting.  The Supreme Court signaled in an order yesterday that it is highly likely to take up the issue of transgender bathrooms in its coming term.  There was a 5-to-3 vote that the justices put on hold, a ground breaking court ruling requiring a Virginia school district to accommodate a transgender high school student\u2019s request to use the boys bathroom. <\/p>\n

And there\u2019s a picture of this transgender, this is a Politico story.  Gavin Grimm, interviewed at his home in Gloucester, Virginia.  He\u2019s a transgender student whose demand to use the boys restrooms has divided the community and promoted a lawsuit.  The court is not in session so each justice handles a region of the country.  Stephen Breyer got this.  And when Breyer in his opinion, when he saw that the four conservatives voted to stay this until later in the term, he decided to vote with them to make it 5-3 to make it look like that there was a solid opinion on this for whatever reason.  He could have made it 4-4 and tied. <\/p>\n

He decided to vote with the conservatives on this.  Because they want this issue before the court.  I\u2019m sure they want to blow this sky high, too.  But people are surprised that the court didn\u2019t take action to permit this.  That the court took action or ordered action to maintain a stay.  And the LGBT community is not happy about it.  <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH:  Here is the reaction from the ACLU lawyers over this transgendered individual\u2019s case, their reaction to the Supreme Court decision saying that he\u2019s got to use a specific bathroom.  “We are disappointed that the court has issued a stay and that Gavin,” who is the transgender here, “will have to begin another school year isolated from his peers and stigmatized by the Gloucester County school board just because he\u2019s a boy who is transgender.” This is “Joshua Block, a senior ACLU staff attorney.”<\/p>\n

“[I]solated and stigmatized” because “he” is a girl who wants to use the boys bathroom and shower.  You know, and the popular reaction to this has become: “Why are we wasting time on who wants to use what bathroom?” Once again, let me just spell it out for you: Everybody was minding their own business and everything was fine, and then one day we were told that girls want to use the boys\u2019 bathroom and guys want to use the girls\u2019 bathroom — and if you don\u2019t like it, shut the hell up! <\/line><\/p>\n

So who is it that actually starts all this stuff that gets everybody all worked up, and then the reaction is, “What do you care?  What difference does it make?  There are more important things to talk about?” “What do you mean, ‘What difference does it make?\u2019 It makes some difference.  Why have bathrooms been segregated all of these thousands of freaking years?”  So it\u2019s like every other aspect of the rot and decline of our culture. <\/p>\n

All we are is minding our own business, respecting tradition and institutions and all this stuff.  And a lot of “reformers” come along and say, “You know what? We don\u2019t like the way you do it.  We don\u2019t like the way you do marriage.  We don\u2019t like the way you assign who can use what bathroom and we\u2019re going to change it, and we\u2019re going to force it on you.”  And people object and they are called a problem.  And that\u2019s how this stuff works. <\/p>\n

And that\u2019s how “social issues” all of a sudden become an albatross around Republicans\u2019 necks, when all they were doing was minding their own business and a bunch of people come along and want to totally blow things up. It\u2019s like the Democrats and Khizer Khan. What\u2019s the real trick here on that?  What\u2019s the real…? You bring somebody up who has lost a child for some reason, in a war or to secondhand smoke or whatever cause the Democrats are pushing, and by virtue of that, you can\u2019t oppose, you can\u2019t criticize, you can\u2019t say anything. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s like they bring up a person who\u2019s disabled and have them do a political commercial for a candidate.  The minute you disagree with the disabled person speaking up for the candidate, you\u2019re called a bigot or what have you.  These are time-honored tactics that the Democrats use to stifle and shut down debate — or when the debate happens, find a way to stigmatize those who are basically for status quo because status quo has derived from tradition and normalcy. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
