You’re too old and from a time when on the face of it something was just funny or not. There was no hidden meaning. You could kid about marriage while loving your wife.
It’s not just that though. People are also sick of the “husband dumb” jokes that infest sitcoms. Like, why are you two married if you both hate/disrespect each other? Oh, right. Divorce use to be a taboo.
I think it’s probably because more and more people are consciously deciding to be with someone rather then „we need to marry, have kids and build a house” to fulfill other people’s expectations.
This change in perspective is one of my favorite things about folks who are younger than me. Kudos for putting this kind of misogyny behind us.
