- cafard 7y agoThat goes back to at least the 1970s. There I suspect that the kid/woman v. dad/authority conflicts, the smart & pluck being on the first side and the obtuseness on the latter, really depicted the script writers v. the management.
- kilo_bravo_3 7y agoTry Shakespeare and Greek Mythology before that. Or if that's too far back, television's The Honeymooners (1955-1956). Or the Flintstones for that matter. Or Fibber McGee and Molly if 30s radio shows are your thing. The bumbling male and the stalwart woman is a trope that is thousands of years old. Complaining about it is new.
