Just because everyone will get the joke doesn’t mean they relate to it or like it. In case you haven’t realized, gender roles are a little more under scrutiny these days. Jokes reinforcing them aren’t going to be as popular.
I don’t appreciate the “terminally online” line. That dig was uncalled for.
I said smaller I did not say small. Words have meaning, and you don’t get to obfuscate my meaning then claim I am being pedantic when you are the one who literally started this by analyzing the word “smaller.“
You started this, this entire discussion is happening because you took issue with one word. Piss off.
Dude come on. You know what I am saying. It was written by boomers primarily for boomers.
I also read the funny pages as a kid. I also saw rated R movies when I was 10. I was not always the intended audience. The humor in comics was classically pretty dated and made obvious for broad appeal. I mean Cathy? Family Circus?
Comics pointing out “lol girls notice curtains” in 2024 are about 34 years too late and offer no insight or value. They’re not even funny. It’s stale and eye roll inducing.
Boomer humor
I liked it
Then you like boomer humor that centers on making fun of gender roles it reinforces. Have at it.

Preach. It’s so trite
Meh, I don’t agree with these gender stereotypes, but they’re all something we can relate to and find silly.
In 2024 the number of people who can relate to it is actually a lot smaller than you think. It’s a very 1990 joke.
I’m not saying you’re wrong about stereotypes, but I am saying you’re terminally online if you truly believe that it’s a small group.
Smaller
Relative statement. Didn’t say small.

If you wanna mince words, fight a dictionary.

so it’s not a boomer joke, but instead a millennial joke.
No because millennials weren’t published cartoonists in 1990 nor were they the intended audience.
i used to read the funny pages when i was like 5 back in the 90s, so whether I was the intended audience or not, that kind of humor still got to me.

That is humour shaming!
Yes, it is. Boomer humor is typically sexist “women amirite” nonsense.
You don’t think women generally give more attention the appearance of curtains, walls, and furnitures?
Gender roles exist.

This is “WOMEN BE SHOPPIN” dross.
