When they start calling people "jr" or implying anyone who disagrees with them is too young to understand.

Yup, I immediately assume these people are children, because it likely comes from their own experiences being dismissed due to their age.

Generally when people bring up some personal detail, my immediate reaction is to assume the opposite. Especially if it begins with "as a." For example: "as a woman," this person is a man. "As a black person," this is the whitest person you will ever meet. "As a 60 year old," definitely ten.

As a poor person who isn't the president of the US and doesn't have access to nuclear launch codes, I agree
