You *are* arguing that bringing up gerontocracy first is ageist, though. How would you suggest everyone discuss the very real gerontocracy problem?

Misogyny is a problem, and there is still a glass ceiling, and women still earn less than men do for the same job. “Pre-college, Girls consistently score higher on STEM though. And the majority of college graduates are women though.”

If your response to ‘America has a problem with hate against Asians’ is ‘The majority of folks accepted to Ivy League universities are Asian though’ then I would conclude, similarly, that you’re incapable of or willing to seriously consider/discuss the problem of hate against Asians.

No, but nice try at putting words in my mouth. My comment means that very few um, ‘non-aged’ people in America are able or willing to acknowledge the existence of ageism and that it’s a problem. Let alone have a rational discussion about it.
