They seem to think every woman

Should be barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen.

All their bitching about "tradition" can be summed up into women should have lots of babies and should cook for their husbands.

They're dismissive of professional women, single women and women who aren't interested in cooking.

Men in comparable situations get a pass.

Sad oldsters who can't stand seeing the world around them change.

If the "old Italia" was better, then why did these two leave Italy when they were young men?
