Which is fine when it was I in the flush of youth’s bloom, and it’s my generation thinking it’s cool to bring back dog tags, and tie and dye, and mood rings, and be into The Doors and watching problematic American sitcoms like I Dream of Jeannie and not realising you may be internalising the horrifying misogyny disguised by a laugh track.
