Far too common trope of media made by boomers is for men/boys to be the wild and crazy ones that can be dumb and gross, while women/girls have their heads screwed on straight and are smart and reasonable (or at least moreso than males). Thankfully, people have begun figuring out this trope has its own problems too, and now it just seems dated (to me at least) whenever it pops up.
Very very similar to the August 1999 strip where Heart brags to Kat about her cell phone
