Because they can?Do you know why men die before their spouses ?
I have no issue with the cartoon as I was more than happy to fade into insignificance in retirement - and leave stress behind.
The men are still droning on about their golf game just as they did while they were working while the women have moved on to some new interests. Nothing worse than a golf bore...the wives have heard it all before
many...maybe most men are blanks or portrayed as effeminate, clueless, helpless, hapless, ineffectual meat blobs just taking up space on many TV programs and many, many commercials. i have no issue with women being portrayed as strong, intelligent leaders...many are interesting characters... but not at the expense of men.
A friend of my wife is a little bit of a feminist...I once challenged her to name just one TV show where the woman was portrayed as dumb while her male partner was portrayed as strong and intelligent and she was unable to name even a single show. I then said to her, "now imagine if it was the other way around."
I probably said "current" TV show...She didn't name this one?

The Good Place, and it’s definitely “current” https://www.nbc.com/the-good-place
Never heard of it, but if so, that's just one out of how many?
The exception proves the rule...
You only asked for one, and you got it.

I think there is a little more to this.
The first woman is working on a Masters, and the second is active in the ACLU, Meals on Wheels, and a book club. While all of this has a social component (what doesn't?) there is a deliberate portrayal of the women as being involved in "larger matters" than then men. The men are unable to articulate on even the most basic level how they are spending their days - I infer from that that the men are absorbed in leisure activities while the women are becoming or regaining their sense of being involved in the greater society.

Yeah, me too... I am not one to be easily offended anyway. I'm sooo happy to have retired before the covid mess.
The men in this cartoon are saying there are not enough hours in the day... because they are enjoying life and that speeds up the perception of time passing.
My feelings exactly ...
The men are dumpy and sloppy, while the women look like they are competing (there's that word again) for Mrs. Thin and Fashionable Seventy-something.
