Thanks for the link. It actually contains quite a bit of wisdom for women and men.

Particularly the part about comming home and not being hit with complaints. Home should be an oasis of sanity from the world at least for a few minuts upon comming home. If we ditch the hype PC sensitivity, some of them involve some common sense.

What were the over the top stuff? seemed fairly tame.

I agree with your post, but I think some of the last points of the supposed 'article' that was posted in this thread [which is not confirmed as an actual article but is just something that's been passed around the Internet] were probably altered in an attempt to make them all look bad. In my opinion, the parts about not questioning your man about being out all night and "a good woman always knows her place" were deliberately over the top hoping to pull the rest of the article and the ideas of the period along with them. I've read some old magazines from this era with articles like this and though the wifely hints near the beginning of the 'article' posted in this thread were common, some of those near the end look like add-ons by someone with an agenda.
