Absolutely, but those shouldn't be overlooked by anyone, and forgiven only once someone has made the effort to unlearn that shit.
Is the "profound" message here really just that as younger women enter the lives of their aging husbands and then fathers, they tolerate less and less of the historical sexist shittyness, as they've grown up a generation later than the previous main female figure in their lives?
Scoffing when asked to change ones behaviour for the better is not a gendered charachter fault. No-one likes being informed that something they've been doing, and consider normal, is bad, actually.
And that's not a reason not to improve. The opposite. It's a reason to embrace self-improvement, and to learn to do ones best to skip the denial phase.
Something I think most people, of both genders, can be very good at if they want to be.
I'm not sure how profound it's "supposed" to be, but I think that's basically the message, that's what I took from it at least.
