    I dunno, this doesn’t feel the same as more contemporary commentary.

    There’s no overt judgement call on display in this cartoon. Like pointing out that the older generation looked for women who could sew/cook, but the younger generation looks for women who can dance and mix drinks, isn’t inherently saying that one is better or worse than the other. It feels more neutrally observational.

    Comparisons that we see these days, have pretty overt messaging as to the negatives the author sees in some social trends. Like comparing a virginal trad wife to a slutty gender fluid rainbow, and saying the rainbow will be bored with you in bed cause she’s had so many miles of dick that she barely notices yours.
