Social Norms Evolve - Part 2

In the Post-Patriarchal Era, social norms changed with females ascending and males becoming subservient as the sexes changed gender roles.

 
Gossiping became a popular male pastime. Whenever boys got together, for example, at a beauty salon illustrated here, they dished on the other boys, their husbands, and their families.

Shopping with a vengeance became a new male pastime replacing competitive sports (that were now the bastion of the females only.) For example, here we find two males fighting over a handbag that was on sale at a boy's boutique.

Working Boy Fashions, Circa 2028

A July 2028 Glamour magazine fashion spread, "Working Boy Chic," represented the styles worn by working boys (secretaries, receptionists, schoolteachers, etc.) in the late 2020's. Although many males clung to female-influenced short hairdos, some trendy boys began wearing longer masculine coiffures.

Children's Literature in the Post-Patriarchal Era

Children's books propagandized the gender role reversal of the Post-Patriarchal Era. For example, here are some pages from the Golden Book titled When I Grow Up, published in 2025.

Post-Patriarchal Era Periodicals

During the Post-Patriarchal Era, magazines adjusted their editorial content to align with new audiences. For example, Sports Illustrated, Esquire, and Hustler were now popular with women, while males gravitated towards the likes of Good Housekeeping, Glamour, and Cosmopolitan.

Social Norms Evolve

Social norms changed to reflect the superior status of females and the inferior status of males in the Post-Patriarchal Era.

For example, by the the fourth decade of the 21st Century, females objectified males sexually. Females made passes at pretty boys. Ogling attractive males and whistling at them was commonplace.

On the other hand, chivalry returned in the Post-Patriarchal Era and the gentlewomen in society typically acted with deference to the laddies. For example, a gentlewoman would hold a door open for a laddy or give up her seat to a laddy on public transportation.
