This is just like how generational discourse is constant and evergreen. You even have Romans in the first century BCE complaining how kids these days are spoiled and soft, and are removed with their impiety, long hair, drugs, and partying.

The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households
-Socrates (469–399 B.C.)
People have been complaining about the "downfall of society" or manners or w/e for likely longer than there has BEEN such a thing that we now recognize as society
I can't find it right now but I remember reading a quote by some ancient (possibly greek) philosophers about feminine men. Might have been Aristotle whos misogyny was legendary. He was essentially talking shit about men who choose to act like women who he saw as inferior beings.
