Actually it says “legend” (never heard that ranking before).
Snopes is so liberal, they cannot resist commentating on this issue:
“Whether the piece at hand is a genuine excerpt from a yet-undiscovered home economics textbook, it is nonetheless a relatively accurate reflection of the mainstream vision of a woman’s appointed role in post-war America, as evinced by such educational training films as “The Home Economics Story” (made familiar to a whole new generation of youngsters through its spoofing on the popular Mystery Science Theater 3000 program).

The text of that list is unbelievable, even for a much older age. Smells to me of people wanting to hate on the ‘50s, as being vastly inferior to the following ‘60s which were filled with such goodness and light from our hippie friends. The ‘50s, despite being the very LAST of the “traditional” age in any sense, are often depicted as being as medieval as anything ever was in the 1200s.
My mother lived through the ‘50s and while of course the view of women’s purposes were much more staid and conservative, I don’t think she’d agree women were actually treated that way. Even her mother.
Ever hear of a little rubber gripper?
The edge of a nice counter also helps well.
That's for after the EMP.

Both my DIL and son are very old fashioned and kid oriented with strong expectations of achievement and the kids respond.
They also have a very large extended family of adults with the same standards. I seems to me that approving Adult men and women have a strong influence on kids, but it starts with parents.
Me I am the evil old Grandpa who says no a lot. My EX can burn in hell.
On a Trans-Atlantic flight, a plane passes through a severe storm. The turbulence is awful, and things go from bad to worse when one wing is struck by lightning.
A female passenger jumps up frantically and announces, “If I’m going to die, I want to die feeling like a woman.”
She asks, “Is there someone on this plane who is man enough to make me feel like a woman?”
A man stands up, removes his shirt and says, “Here, iron this and get me a beer!”.
W-what? I never thought of that. I don’t know!
LOL! Wait a minute, that is not on the good wife list!
My father grew up working in restaurants. He taught me this simple trick. I’ve never known it to fail.
When dealing with a too-tight lid on a glass jar (spaghetti sauce, peanut butter, whatever), take a somewhat heavy kitchen tool and whack the rim of the metal lid four times, at approximately 90-degree intervals, with the tool’s handle. I always use a table knife or a chopping knife. Make sure you only let the metal part of the handle strike the lid (or you can break the handle).
Each strike should dent the metal of the cap slightly. There is no need to strike the cap anywhere near hard enough to break the glass underneath the cap. Just four medium-hard thwacks, evenly spaced around the edge of the cap. You should end up with four dents, each maybe a quarter of an inch wide and a sixteenth of an inch deep or so.
Then turn it by hand. It should turn right off.
We had a lot of 1950’s-vintage US Army MATS knives. Stainless steel, with nice, rounded, heavy handles. They were perfect. You hardly had to swing them; mostly just let them fall under the force of gravity would do the trick.
I thought everyone knew this trick.
You never know where those channel locks have been.
Outstanding post #4!
Because you're not putting up with all the games that goes with being single.
Calling one girl back only to get another one with a different name, the drama, the diseases, her friends and ex-boyfriends...
Being in a relationship ROCKS.
“There are also the studies that show that children raised in single parent homes do not do as well -————”

Here we go again. My father died when we were 2 and 5 years old.
We had a wonderful mother who raised us on her own.
We did okay.

lol! It is NOW!!!
I'm still the 'eccentric' uncle to my late brother's three, though they're all grown and gone now, and making good lives for themselves.
Never had any kids of my own - by choice early on, by circumstance later - but will forever cherish some priceless memories of a stint at being stepdad to six girls.
I can surely vouch for the old witticism that says if you wanna make God laugh, tell him your plans .. lol
Anyway, nice anecdotal stuff, thanks .. cheers !

Good God. Those women all look like a bunch of teeny-boppers at a Justin Beiber concert.
