This is not always true.

That actually all looks pretty sensible to me.
This is not always true.
Looks sensible to me. Sadly, it would apply to many ‘men’ of today....
Ah....the good old days.
Don't know about anyone else, but this sounds like Marxist family-destroying tactics to me.
Pick young married women
Same goes for Rosie O’Donnell.

I worked for Westinghouse back in the day, in the “mother plant” that George himself built in East Pittsburgh. There was a group of women there that were known as the Westinghouse Old Maids because the company had a policy in the 50’s that a woman would be fired if she got married, so these women chose their jobs over marriage and stayed single.
How the heck did you come to that conclusion?
Their targeting of young married women, who would most likely be starting families. Given the year (1943), they would be out working while their husbands would be off in the war, too; easier to influence them with a leftist agenda while on the job, via whatever union(s) would have been in the workplace.
How the heck did you come to that conclusion?
Standard Oil of Indiana (predecessor to BP) had a similar policy. Female ancestors were ‘let go’ when they got married.
Seems not much has changed other than the physicals for “female problems”.
Mens Rules
We always hear “the rules” from the female side. Now here are the rules from the male side. These are our rules! Please note... these are all numbered “1” ON PURPOSE!
1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You’re a big girl. If it’s up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don’t hear us bitching about you leaving it down.
1. Birthdays, Valentines, and Anniversaries are not quests to see if we can find the perfect present yet again!
1. Sometimes we are not thinking about you. Live with it.
1. Sunday = sports. It’s like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be.
1. Don’t cut your hair. Ever. Long hair is always more attractive than short hair. One of the big reasons guys fear getting married is that married women always cut their hair, and by then you’re stuck with her.
1. Shopping is NOT a sport. And no, we are never going to think of it that way.
1. Crying is blackmail.
1. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one: Subtle hints do not work! Strong hints do not work! Obvious hints do not work! Just say it!
1. We don’t remember dates. Mark birthdays and anniversaries on a calendar. Remind us frequently beforehand.
1. Most guys own three pairs of shoes - tops. What makes you think we’d be any good at choosing which pair, out of thirty, would look good with your dress?
1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.
1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That’s what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.
1. A headache that last for 17 months is a problem. See a doctor.
1. Check your oil! Please.
1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 days.
1. If you won’t dress like the Victoria’s Secret girls, don’t expect us to act like soap opera guys.
1. If you think you’re fat, you probably are. Don’t ask us. We refuse to answer.
1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways, and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one.
1. Let us ogle. We are going to look anyway; it’s genetic.
1. You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it done. Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.
1. Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during commercials.
1. Christopher Columbus did not need directions, and neither do we.
1. The relationship is never going to be like it was the first two months we were going out. Get over it. And quit whining to your girlfriends.
1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.
1. If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that.
1. We are not mind readers and we never will be. Our lack of mind-reading ability is not proof of how little we care about you.
1. If we ask what is wrong and you say “nothing,” we will act like nothing’s wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.
1. If you ask a question you don’t want an answer to, expect an answer you don’t want to hear.
1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine. Really.
1. Don’t ask us what we’re thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as navel lint, the shotgun formation, or monster trucks.
1. You have enough clothes.
1. You have too many shoes.
1. Foreign films are best left to foreigners. (Unless it’s Bruce Lee or some war flick where it doesn’t really matter what the hell they’re saying anyway.)
1. It is neither in your best interest or ours to take the quiz together. No, it doesn’t matter which quiz.
1. BEER is as exciting for us as handbags are for you.
1. Thank you for reading this; Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight, but did you know we really don’t mind that, it’s like camping.
1. I’m in shape. ROUND is a shape.
Having been the General Manager over a few businesses, I can tell you, Marxist it may be, but single women are far inferior to married women. I worked with about 20 employees at a time in one venue, and the problems with the single women were to no end. “He looked at me cross-eyed,” “She talks behind my back,” “He stood to close to me,” “I feel creeped out by ____,” “I’m scared to walk to the garbage (We live in the area with the least crime in the entire country, or it was at the time).” And on and on. Yet, with every married women, they were some of the best workers (usually because they also had previously, or were currently, taking care of a family at home).
While I don’t advocate for women leaving their families and worked (statistically, on average it doesn’t actually bring in much extra money, anyway, IIRC $1000 a year on average), if they are going to work, they generally do a better job than single women, who laregly have had little responsibility in their lives by comparison.
6) is now true of all employees. :)
I assumed that, back in the 1940s, unions were actually helpful/beneficial.
See my post at #16. Also, while I don’t disagree with the point that it could be from the marxist angle, I certainly wouldn’t assume that first.
