Yes, but the author of the article doesn't do that either. Everything is dismissed as ridiculous and old fashioned. Which is also just silly. Not rebelling or rebelling against everything are both bad paths. You need to realise some things you ancestors got right, and some things they got wrong. As OP says the fashionable thing in media seems to be "dismiss absolutely anything that even faintly resembles old fashioned values as idiotic"
