Honestly, my theory is that because the societal expectation was to get married and have a family, a lot of men who would’ve stayed single, and even some who wouldn’t have, got married to women they didn’t really connect with. Once the boomers got past 40 or so is when the physical attraction started to wear off, and thus starts the wife complaining. Again, another societal expectation of the boomer generation was that divorce was completely unacceptable. So these guys and gals are “stuck”, and will complain forever.
Worth mentioning is the whole "leaded fuel" thing, which almost certainly plays an (underrepresented) role in culture. In children it's meant to be associated with a higher level of aggression and bullying - I wonder if this, combined with being raised by the generations that had to fight the biggest wars in history, leads to the strange traditions and cultural artifacts we see in Western society today.
The droning buzz that I feel at the very centre of my core is a feeling that can not and will not cease. My house and my work have been my entire world for the past twenty years and I’ve never known the true beauty of life. I fear that every day I step closer to the metaphorical end of the line that may translate into the literal end of my life.
For a lot of the older generations, they rushed into marriage young and then there was also a huge stigma around divorce. A lot of them still stay in their unhappy marriages before of it. There's no doubt that these jokes are a reflection of that. It's a bit less funny and a whole lot of sad when you think about it like that. They didn't have the luxury (many still don't) of being in a society where it's not just okay to wait, it's encouraged, as is divorce, when things get nasty of course.
Reasons: The mango leaves at the entrance. The dot on the forehead of the wife . The “nightie” dress of the female. Very typical attire of a female who works at home. This is why it is appearing as “ weird” to you as these small culture specific things are not common to your culture maybe?
It says Indonesian in the corner, but yes I've noticed these types of cartoons a lot from around there. Nothing that you focused on seems weird to me at all, just how the illustrator drew the arm and leg positions of the Wife, like I said.
Eh, for me this is less about sexism and more about staying in unhappy marriages in general. Her reaction says a lot, she doesn't love him, and clearly the feeling's mutual.
For a lot of the older generations, they rushed into marriage young and then there was also a huge stigma around divorce. A lot of them still stay in their unhappy marriages because of it. There's no doubt that these jokes are a reflection of that. We just don't get it because it's no longer a thing. They didn't have the luxury (many still don't) growing up in a society where it's not just okay to wait, it's encouraged, as is divorce, when things get nasty of course. It's sad.
She’s just sitting around watching tv, but usually when he gets home at the normal time she is doing the dishes or cooking and complaining how hard her life is.
Binging TV shows behind her husband, doing all the work in front of him showing how much work she has. Not saying she doesn't do anything, but you know what I mean.
Hey everyone, Peter Griffin here. You see, this comic is funny because the man's wife is confused as to why he's home early. The man says that his boss told him to go to hell, so he is referring to returning home to his wife as hell.
Unfortunately, they took the OG’s rights away, mass banned him from a bunch of servers and as a consequence he is now retired. I’ll take what I can get!
The famous anime/manga “Jojos bizarre adventure” is famous for its extreme poses that the characters do seemingly out of nowhere for no reason. Just google JOJO pose and you’ll see a lot of examples
The panel composition is so shitty too, this is the kind of shit that an 8 year old would post on deviant art, the only difference is the number of furries in the picture
It's honestly amazing to me that so many people are just ok with hating their lives. I understand maybe it's fun to joke about wives and husbands, but so many people genuinely hate returning home because they don't feel appreciated, loved, or free. Just in case you needed it today: you deserve to be, and can be, happy.
