I never understood the culture of boomers always hating their wives. That’s just sad. How can people not love their partners?

What I find interesting is that a lot of boomer guys should know it’s wrong because they know they wouldn’t be happy if their daughters were treated the way they treat their wives. Zero introspection about what they’re doing and why.

Too many boomers married because they were "expected" to do so, and because women didn't have as many options to support themselves. So you ended up with a lot of relationships built on convenience rather than any compatibility. Hence the high divorce rates for that generation.

Because their wives are forever begging them to do the bare minimum and they don't know how to do that. Sets up a fun little pattern of nagging on one side and resentment on both sides. That generation was damaged by institutional misogyny so much.

Not to get political, but a lot of the boomer wife hate stems from abortion law prior to 1973.
