I have a coworker who is on an anti- boomer humor mission. We're in a male-dominated field and the "my wife is a nag, she spends all my money, I don't get why she doesn't want to have sex with me while I treat her like my mother" jokes are frequent. He has a dozen ways of stopping the men from telling these jokes and reminding them that it's ok to love their spouses. Or, you know, to divorce them if they don't.
It's a bare minimum thing, not bad-mouthing your spouse constantly, but I appreciate he's the only man in the group willing to speak up and show the younger ones there is a better way.
