Your protest does not become the standards and propriety of a good wife. Now go give your husband a deep foot massage...

No, it isn't.

It's a late 1980s feminist attack on men, husbandry, fatherhood, wives, and complementarian companionate marriage.

It's very cleverly done for making an impression on second wave feminist college girls, no person, man or woman, reaching parenthood in the 1950s would have had any trouble recognizing it as a fake.

Especially bad is the reply, "Yes, it's fake but accurate".

I was there. I grew up there, on Planet 1955, as did my sisters, my friends, my medical school classmates, etc.

It's true that men returning from WW II and Korea, and women returning from war production, widowhood, and constant dread of loss, tried to live and did live for a while with a somewhat exaggerated "gender binary", which was amped up by the explosion if suburbs and the rise in commuting.

The things my mom and her friends did in 1955 they weren't doing so much in 1960.
