Know Your Place Woman!

We women have come a long way from the "seen but not heard" era and we can now own a car and drive it. Alone. Yea, you read that right. Kind of a scary thought when women can be deliriously off during their period. They are an emotional bunch, think with their feelings. Loud too. Besides they never get the reverse parking right.

Their life cycle consist of them being born, grow up, serving the family especially the male family – father, brothers. Then, God forbid if they aged more than 21 and were still single. You'd have called them "Old Maid". Women must get married at a young age when their body is still young and able to produce sons for the husband to carry the family name. You cannot put ideas in women by sending them to school lest they come up with bright ideas. Bright ideas make them talk. When they dare to talk they would demand rights.

They don't have the right to their own bodies. It is always their fault when men can't control their desire when looking at them. Even if they were dressed covered from head to toe. They cannot control their passion. 

Geez woman….. don't you know your place?

*eyes rolling*

What crap.

My point of this post?...to share with you something that I stumbled upon last night from the 1950′s. Just how did I stumble upon this? Let it go...it's better not to know. I have included the most hard-to-swallow ones here, mainly for a laugh.

*  Have dinner ready. Plan ahead, even the night before to have a delicious meal ready, on time for his return. This is a way of letting him know that you have been thinking about him and are concerned about his needs. Most men are hungry when they come home and the prospect of a good meal (especially his favourite dish) is part of the warm welcome needed. ~ Does bringing home Subway count? The foot long ham is his favourite dish!

• * Prepare yourself. Take 15 minutes to rest so you’ll be refreshed when he arrives. Touch up your make-up, put a ribbon in your hair and be fresh-looking. He has just been with a lot of work-weary people. ~ Ribbon's and makeup....frack that...I'm work-weary people! Perhaps Adam can put ribbon's in his hair and be fresh-looking for me.

• * Listen to him. You may have a dozen important things to tell him, but the moment of his arrival is not the time. Let him talk first – remember his topics of conversation are more important that yours. 
• 
  
• * Make the evening his. Never complain if he comes home late or goes out to dinner, or other places of entertainment without you. Instead, try to understand his world of strain and pressure and his very real need to be at home and relax. ~ Define other places of entertainment.
• 
  * Don’t complain if he’s late home for dinner or even if he stays out all night. count this as minor compared to what he might have gone through that day.
• 
  
• * Arrange his pillow and offer to take off his shoes. Speak in a low, soothing and pleasant voice. ~ Smother him with his pillow...oh...arrange his pillow, my bad!
• 
  
• * Don’t ask him questions about his actions or question his judgment or integrity. Remember he is the master of the house and as such will always excercise his will with fairness and truthfulness. You have no right to question him.
• 
  
• * A good wife always knows her place.

I did laugh till my tummy ached but I didn't roll on the floor though. I wore a nice black dress to work today so it would not do to roll on the floor and laugh. The carpet might snag my black stockings and that would be terrible.
