This isnโ€™t as appallingly sexist as I expected it to be

    A lot of the conversations we have today are the same that people have been having for generations. It still seems anachronistic to read sometimes though.

    Like complaining about how children act, or how no one wants to work anymore. Or how the politicians have lost their minds.

    I was watching something from the late 60s the other day, and there was a line by a young actress explaining that young people don't think there will be a future for them and are living accordingly.

    It was the exact same sentiment you would expect to see while doom-scrolling today.

    The only one that's particularly awful is the demand for wives to scamper to the door when the husband arrives, like a good little housepet. ๐Ÿคฎ

    Absent of the gender assumption, it's good advice for any spouse to greet their partner when they come home. There's a good chance that they've been working and being welcomed home can relieve a lot of the stress that builds up from being out of the house. It makes one feel like one has come home, rather than just come back to a place where one can take off one's shoes.

    Yeah, I think with a minor revision, that one would be okay. Just like, if you're a stay-at-home mom or something, when your husband gets home, holler out to him, greet him, let him know where you are, you know, let him know he's welcome to be home, something like that.

    My ex-wife was a stay-at-home wife, and when I got home she would say, "Hey" to me and it was nice to be greeted when I got home.

    i'll be honest, i like when my wife greets me at the door when i get home. I like when my cats greet me at the door when i get home. likewise my wife really likes when the cats, or more importantly i greet her at the door (as it's a sign i'm having a good enough day to get up). we're usualy excited to see each other. but it's not a habit anyone but the cats have.

    I kind of expected these to have aged worse. Some are solid - if a little obvious in modern times - advice.

    And then there are the others... At least some of them are humorous; show them to your partner guys i'm sure she will appreciate them. Even if she is just a wife ๐Ÿซ

    I showed it to my wife and she laughed a bit too hard at the "devoid of colour sense" part.

    so like, i used to belong to a cult. they had this "what should you be looking for in a spouse" lesson and I mentioned I was looking for someone intelligent, as someone who couldn't keep up with me would be boring. i practically started a riot. like, sign a million that cult was not for me.

    That's right lady's! Don't let your man leave the house with brown boots and a black belt. Use the belt and restrain him until he gets his color's right!

    DON'T say your wife wastes time in reading, even if she only reads fiction.

    These are all don'ts. Where are some of the do's?

    I'm actually surprised some of the don'ts for the husbands are good advice.

    Surprisingly not the blatant misogyny I expected given the title

    Though the typography has me feeling this is a potentially bit more modern than 1913, however I'm not quite sure when this sort of sans-serif tabloidy style became prevalent, so I could be completely off the mark.
