It’s not exactly shocking that people are more selfish and self-absorbed than perhaps any other time in American history. But still, the depths of the narcissism people are willing to put on public display can be surprising. Typically, this comes from idiot millennials who think the world revolves around them, but they’re just doing what they were taught to do by the generations before them, who can be just as shallow and narcissistic. Still, at one point in time, people knew better than to openly show off how clueless and bratty they were. The “me me me” mentality has never exactly been desirable, after all. But now we have the internet, so people think they can and should spout off about whatever ridiculous thought enters their tiny brain. Case in point? Meghann Foye, senior web editor for Redbook magazine. Foye is jealous of moms getting to take all of these awesome paid vacations every time they pop out a child — because maternity leave is just, like, an all-expenses paid vacation, right? — so she wrote a book, and then penned an op-ed in the New York Post, whining about how she deserves maternity leave too, even though she doesn’t have any kids. She deserves “meternity” leave!
