The sentiments expressed in the article ARE NOT FAKE.
This is where we came from...this level of
appendage, where our duty was to make his
life easier.
One can find this information in any old marriage
handbook; in the old Family Physician books published
in the fifties, in any old advice column.
Whether this specific article with cartoon was published
as is specified, or if this is a compilation, the facts
remain.
But let us turn this Goodhousekeeping Article
on it's head.
The Good Husband.....
In the 50s men got up and went to work, women
stayed home.
Men were to provide for the home. They were to
hand their paycheques over to their wives who
bought the food and prepared it.
Everything was his problem. He had the chequing
account, he paid the bills. Everything was him.
She was supposed to be 'helpless'.
She had to take whatever he dished out as
divorce was rare. In every group of one hundred
there might be one divorce.
People got married forever, and no matter what,
stayed married.
He might have affairs, they may hate each other,
but they stayed married.
Being a divorcee in those days was considered
being of low morality.
By the mid sixties things began to change and
divorces increased remarkably.
Today half of all marriages end in divorce.
The situation portrayed in the article posted suggests
that women had I.Q.s around Forest Gump level, hence
could easily adjust to such a life.
