am i not watching this properly, who here is fantasizing about justin beiber? the alien daughter mentions him in a jokingly insulting way and thats it. really dont know what your taking offense with here.
Justin Beiber's 17 years old...the alien mother, who we can presume is aged 30-50, says "mmmm Bieber", implying sexual lust.
Now if the farther had lusted after a 17 year old girl, that would have been regarded as inappropriate, which is the OP's point- why the hypocrisy?
I'll just say that society has certain gender expectations, like for instance how men are expected to work, and women have the choice to work or be a housewife and won't be looked down upon for either. Men are expected to be leaders, women are seen as more maternal and caring, men are seen as potentially violent but also brave, women are seen as being potentially bitchy etc...
As far as i'm concerned these views are shaped by a complex interaction of nature and nurture psychological factors- gender expectations do change over time of course, because gender expectations are in part a social construct, but because there's a nature element there as well- there will always be gender expectations in some form or another.
