Reading the article I don't see the relevance to conservatism in a political sense more a theoretical.
It's an article that cronicals this reporters attitudinal differences to the other generations and their interpretation of gender and fashion in comparison to her own.
Gen x people who don't subscribe to them/ they pronouns are not conservative thinkers imo but it does suggest a rigidity that younger generations balk at.

When I think of conservative I think of the new right sociological perspectives in relation to the family, law and order, crime and punishment, unemployment, immigration.
I agree that some people do change their perspective I guess those people for me are the free lovers of the 60s the boomers who now form an ocean of grey at farage love ins.... I dont know why this is, maybe it's complacency, that they struggled so others must struggle, a need to protect the status quo?
