In a world where old school meets new school, our modern-day hero took a stand against his father-in-law’s outdated beliefs. The patriarch, a believer in traditional gender roles, had been making life difficult for his sons-in-law with his constant jabs at their ‘unmanly’ jobs. But when the father-in-law’s demands went too far at a family barbecue, our hero decided to challenge the old man’s claim to be the ‘man of the house’.

So, who’s the real ‘man of the house’ now? Let’s see what the internet has to say about this…
