Hot take ... ageism toward younger people should be 1,000 times more acceptable than ageism toward older people. The latter is completely tasteless and void of class.
I'm of the complete opposite opinion. Young people are still trying to figure out how everything works and how to control their emotions, yet we often hold them to the standard of someone who is of our own age, all while denying them the ability to participate in large parts of society. I have zero issues with calling out old people for behavior that they should know is unacceptable, especially when corporate boards, the government, and really all organizations with significant power to impact people's lives are disproportionately filled with older people.
I'm assuming your post was more about straight up harassment and abuse, however, and I think we should all agree that is equally unacceptable regardless of who is the target.
