They've never wiped out on their bike and scraped the hell out of their knees, for the 10th time 'this summer alone', to only go out riding the bike again tomorrow. They've never had a bonfire, let alone enough to have nearly fallen into them dozens of times; are afraid of fire like a opossum because they dont 'understand it'. They've never built a tree fort way out in the woods; had to drag all that timber and such out there; lost one of dads tools in the process and had to learn a bit of responsibility from it (then grow up still needing their own safe spaces as adults). They've never had a huge treble fishing hook snared in their leg etc. They've never caught salamanders and had that slime stuff harden like glue all over their hands; sure to go do it again tomorrow. They've never fallen through the ice in swamp, or the creek, and had to slug their way a half a mile home half frozen while soaking wet and half covered in mud. They've never been convinced they wouldn't make it home without frost bite, for the 100 time, and 100's more to come... They never on their own stood up to a neighborhood bully. They've never been stung a dozen times by angry yellow jackets, while out flipping over rocks looking for cool critters, because that's what kids naturally do. They cant even fathom the idea of playing outside everyday without a cell phone, just out in the woods or whatever, out riding bikes, etc, to the wind, until it starts getting dark out finally start heading home to think of what to go and do out there in the 'wild' tomorrow. They've never ran out of firecrackers, so they had to go and find the duds with wicks only 1mmm long, and try to light them, and have them explode in their fingertips...
But now they want to act all tough and throw rocks at cars and start fist fights??!?!?! Next they'll want to make bombs and throw Molotov Cocktails, even though they never grew up playing with fire and fireworks every summer as sport.
I say they just stick a 2 pronged fork in the power outlet receptacle and not let go.
What are your 'natural' childhood experiences that would make adult SJW's cringe?
HAHA!!!! I can imagine it! Oh what we would do for that blessed day off from school!

Ha! I had a neighborhood friend he had a habit of eating paper! LOL!
Another one, one time he lead us over to this huge patch of poison ivy and started pulling it down, rubbing it all over himself just so he didn't have to go to school that week. If you could see the dead serious look on his face as he did it.
