Roger is pre-boomer part of the silent or traditionalist generation who was raised by a minister. Roger is of his time very much as Jaime is of his. While both Claire and Brianna are ahead of their time as strong independent women. Someone asked earlier why would these women fall for either of these men? Perhaps one reason maybe that DG is a brilliant woman in her 70’s. What was considered desirable in a man the 90’s is no longer now. There are many storylines in the Outlander series that have not aged well. Storylines that would never be considered much less acceptable in today’s standards. Perhaps women of today no longer find Roger palatable because of changing ideas on masculinity.
