I went through that but I don't blame the boomers for that advice (although they are the plague of current society).
The world they grew up in COMPLETELY changed, it basically disappear so fast that they couldn't keep up, almost no generation would have had the intellect and fortitude to face the reality of waking up on a different country one day.
Even today, men still follow the rules of a world that no longer exists, that are actively hurting and destroying their lives.
