Society Then and Now

Text on the meme

👌 ❤️ Society then : blue is for boys and pink is for girls always Society now : nice sweater nice suit

What it means

The meme contrasts old-fashioned gender rules about blue and pink with a modern scene where a person in a sweater and a bearded man in a suit compliment each other’s clothing. The joke is that society’s fashion and gender expectations have become more flexible, presenting both outfits as equally stylish. It is used as a humorous reaction to changing social norms.
