Seinfeld is right. He never grew up.

Jerry Seinfeld says he longs for a time when men were men and women had to accept whatever that meant. The world moves on, Jerry. You don't have to. But please don't expect us to share your warm, nostalgic feelings about sexism and gender stereotypes.

And now is just aging. He has to say contrary things to stay in the news.

When a husband could rape and beat his wife, without consequences. Women could not have a loan or bank account in her own name, unless her husband allowed it. Wife and kids were property, not people. You know, when men were men.

Jim Crow laws, segregation, red lining, and far worse were perfectly acceptable.

Democratic down the ballot.

That would be the ultimate answer to Seinfeld, and others with that same mindset.

Telling episode is when he fell in love with his mirror image person. It was not fiction.

... there's an old saying that was composed just for you. It goes:

"'Tis better to be silent and thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt."

Unlike some, I enjoyed your show, but that success is attributable to the wit and skill of the writers, certainly not to your acting ability. To paraphrase Dorothy Parker, you exhibited the full range of your thespian chops from A to B.
