    Remember - with age comes experience. I’m not a boomer, but don’t discount them just because they’re older.

    It used to be the elders were the ones who helped us navigate the pitfalls they didn’t Escape.

      You’re assuming a lot. I don’t have a problem with age itself or old people, nor do I discount their experiences. What I have a problem with is them bringing antiquated ideals like “wife bad” with them. We can take useful knowledge from the past forward but leave the toxic garbage behind.

        I agree with you 100% but in the interest of trying to contribute to lemmy more, I’ll make this comment: I didn’t even get a “wife bad” vibe from this meme, personally, until I saw your comment. So it’s almost a self-fulfilling prophecy scenario here, for me.

        Yeah, I get that. There are bad apples in both genders. The problem is that the court system appears to assume things that puts men at a significant disadvantage in outcomes when marriages don’t work.
