    Holy Moley!

    It's a wonder it doesn't say to be ready for sex when he demands it!

    It is a real shame to see that women have let their standards slip so far . If SWMBO read this I'd be dead meat, these days there must be only two rules for blokes,

    Rule 1, If any household dispute arrives the male is deemed in the wrong.

    Rule 2, If in doubt apply rule 1

    At least the sex's are gaining some form of balance these days, but I doubt that many would have followed that article to the letter even then.

    I dont know about that line "be a little gay for him' when he gets home from work.
    I'm not dismissing the idea, just would be a bit of a shock.

    Gay meant something else in 1955.
    as in "Happy and gay the Vegemite way".

    I am reliably informed that this article is not genuine It scarcely accorded with my memory of what would have been considered acceptable in the 50's.

    Yep, then we were eased into the modern era with the quote "you don't have to be happy to be gay". It'd be a real bugger feeding timber thru a TS with a limp wrist.

    actually is it just a different way of looking at things

    The Feminist revolution is all me me me and this was directing commitment to the family.

    How we read or misread it today is because society has changed. A wife who is concerned and considerate to her husband will in return gain the same and respect as well. Was she meant to be a slave or a toe rag? I doubt it.

    BTW. These are not my personal views though SWMBO has been trying to get me to let her be all these things for 18 years...
