"the good wife's guide" taken from a 1950's home economics

Textbook - Statement "The Good Wife's Guide" taken from a 1950's Home Economics Textbook "The Good Wife's Guide" give us a perfect example of an over antiquated picture of the wife in society. On the other hand, the text is written in the fifties or even before, when most women didn't have many rights. The Guide only deals about how to serve / cater husband, except once, where it tells you that you might have satisfaction by serving him. Most of these rules could still apply today, for a housewife, of a hard working husband. In case she isn't working herself, she should have enough time to do certain things in the house, while he is at work. Tasks, such as, have dinner ready when he comes home, are basic needs.

     Whenever a man comes home, he is hungry! At least I am. If dinner isn't ready by then and the wife isn't at home, a man has to fix something for himself. This might end in a disaster, since most man are able to burn rive by boiling it. So you see, men are not able to help them selves with the food, because they never learned to take care of themselves. Back in their youth, there was always their mother who took care of them. We need you to survive, please don't let us starve or live by frozen food, it's not all that tasty! As I said before, the rules are out of date.

     You don't have to serve a man that much anymore. If he is not able to take of his shoes by himself or go to bed by himself, he is either a mother's son (and you didn't do anything against it!) or he must have two broken arms in plaster. Otherwise, you should kick him out of the house. Nevertheless, there is one certain rule that is very important and based on the male psychology. The male brain possesses not the ability to take so much information all at once and remember it. Although, your information might be more important that anything else in the world! This is an all-too complicated request for the male psychology, which, as mentioned above, is not made for remembering such detail on demand.

     We have to work it through first, save it to the hard drive and then maybe be able to remember it. Our brain is not as good as the female brain. So, just keep it in mind, and tell it to us in a few minutes, after we were able to react to what you told us before. Right here, there is another rule, which applies: Speak in a low and pleasant voice. Men are sissies! We are afraid of women, because they are better than we are. Their psychology is way above ours, and they are extremely smart.

     In connection with fingernails and other deadly female weapons (and our weakest point unsaved.), a woman might be able to kill us within seconds! Some of us learned from many fights before, not to fight with an enemy of the other sex. We will loose all the time! You are superior. Thank you for showing this to us in the female rights movement, which made these superficial rules useless, although they all sound very nice if you are a guy. However, men still earn more money than women do in most cases!
