40 Outdated Social Constructs Baby Boomers Still Believe In

August 18, 2024 by Alison Campbell

We have all had the experience of telling someone from an older generation that their opinions are outdated and irrelevant to modern times. Sure, not all of their views are ridiculous, but boomers are some of the most stubborn people. When you tell them to change their ways, they’ll tell you that you’re the one who’s wrong. If you want to see what we mean, we have compiled a list of old-fashioned opinions boomers swear by that don’t make sense in today’s world.

#1: Straws Only

There is no denying that women have always been expected to behave differently than men in society, whether it was regarding work, pleasure, or even dressing in the morning. However, people are realizing that many of these behavioral differences don’t make sense and are demanding answers.

Could someone please explain why it would be inappropriate for women to drink straight out of the bottle? This is just one of the many outdated examples; it simply doesn’t make any sense. When people forget the reason behind something or it becomes irrelevant, that’s when you know it’s past its use-by date.
