      Yes,because dad cool, mom uncool.

      Funny sexism from the 50s.

      Or maybe mom responsible adult, dad irresponsible man-child?

      It’s the funny anti-male gender bigotry of this century.

      I don’t think great-grandpa could make a meme like this, so your characterization is probably going to be the much less likely source. And honestly, it has the same man-hating, man-as-incompetent-idiot stench as a lot of feminist propaganda.

      That’s putting it a bit abrasively, but there’s a nugget of truth there.

      An anecdote: I saw some (drug?) commercial where the wife orders pizza because the Dad’s a bumbling idiot for even attempting to use the kitchen. Everything about the way it was presented just screamed… ‘50s sexism,’ basically?
