Further proof that the more things change, the more they stay the same. From an unusual source
Season 2, Episode 5 of Charmed, the original series
When Prue(transformed into a man)meets a former boyfriend at a bar, they have a conversation which mirrors much of the chatter we hear today....
"When it comes to dating women these days, I just can't figure out what they want. It's a real confusing time to be a man"
"You mean like in what way?"
"Like in every way. I mean even in opening up doors or pulling out chairs. Some women expect it, others hate it. They never know which camp there in until it's too late"
Great news though: What follows next indicates that then as now, all isn't so dreary:
"What camp do you think Prue is in?"
"Prue? The good one. The one that likes it. She's cool"
