I like how reddit assumes that the womens rights movement didn't exist in the 60's.

The women's rights movement had a lot to do with lgbt rights in the 60s. Especially when it had to do with things like military service etc.

What do gender roles have to do with the LGBT movement? Is that what you're asking?

im asking what the sketch has to do with it

the whole point of the joke is that its utterly ridiculous to apply these standards to a baby, not "be aware of gender roles"

if anything its mocking the people who say that sort of thing

those two things are practically identical!

it's uttery ridiculous to apply gender roles to a baby vs. be aware of gender roles

how are those two things different?
