I'm not so sure these expectations will die with the Boomers.
If not, then probably with GenX-ers.

'You're too old now, you're 29 and never got married, all you can hope for is that some cougar will take pity on you and make you her toy-boy' - well that's just a straight-talking assessment of your SMV, not a rejection of you as a whole person?
I'd say it's a rejection of your life goals for sure, if you happen to be a 29-yr-old single man who is specifically planning to find a wife and form a family (so presumably a religious or at least traditionalist man). Other than that, I imagine a lot of 29-yr-old single men would at least be OK with becoming toy boys.

I think the unstated assumption is that assuming state responsibility for the welfare of bastards would be enabling the irresponsible behavior of their biological parents, and most citizens don't want that. Paying for the sick and elderly is similarly generally seen as the state's responsibility only when other options are unavailable.
This reads like some political comedy piece.
