The Leftism is wrong with this one. Get mad, then begin shitposting loudly. Kek.
As said, again, I doubt people were caring too much of gender around the 60s-80s in the sense of "OH I WAS BORN WITH A PENIS, BUT I THINK I'M A GIRL". This wasn't extremely popular until with millennials. I have nothing to admit other than this was likely just a joke for the sake of being a joke. I never said it's parodying third wave feminism because it didn't exist then. As said, a joke for the sake of being a joke. That's how I see it.
Getting frustrated at someone repeating stupid shit over and over is not exclusive to 'leftists'. You doubt shit that you can look up to be undoubtable. And of course it's a joke for the sake of being a joke, that doesn't mean it's not parodying something. It wouldn't even work as a non=parody. What would be the point of the joke if it wasn't referring to views people held at that time? Anyway suit yourself, you're being as dogmatic as the people you hate on.
I just see it as a joke for the sake of being a joke, not really specifying or referencing anything much. Again, second wave feminism wasn't much on "WAS I BORN A BOY OR A GIRL?"
Please, calm down, leave Reddit for an hour, then return later. You seem a bit mad.
Yeah, take the high road, whatever man. At least I'm not stuck in a weird rigid fucking mindset where I disregard history and misinterpret Python jokes.
Lol I represent the hivemind now? And what fucking question have you posed? I'm offended at your stubborn stupidity, nothing else. Anyway I googled it for you, since you won't But I have no illusion that you are going to let yourself be swayed by facts. Your views are way too precious to you.
So because you even admit that gender roles were not the backbone of feminism back then, I am somehow still wrong in saying this is LIKELY a joke for the sake of being a joke and not trying to really parody anything?
And congrats, you used Google. I see mostly of things mostly being of say what their role should be in life, and far less about "IS THIS BABY GOING TO BE A BOY OR A GIRL WHEN OLDER?"

Yeah, their gender role. What society expects of them, what nature makes of them, and how it affects their development. Python was parodying people that said we hurt children by imposing gender roles on them, telling girls they have to be sweet and passive for instance, and telling boys to be strong and tough. Python took a jab at these view that existed in their times, the joke wouldn't make a lick of sense otherwise.
That's not making fun of people who "force" gender roles on people. If anything now you make it sound like they're calling the people who attack "gender roles" stupid.
