I was smiling and shaking my head until I got to the part where she says, "...being mindful that a man's satisfaction is more important than a woman's." My jaw dropped and I thought, WHAT????? It just blows me away to read this stuff, even though it is from the 60's. What's also mystifying in this day and age is that Eddie couldn't get into a guild because he's a man.

OMG! I think that is a page from my Mom's 1962 Home Economics book. They had an entire chapter on "Being a Successful Wife".

I read this to my mother....she's 81. She laughed till she cried. Said she was SO glad she'd not read that book. And yes, her reaction to "OBEY" was the same!! ROLMAO! :mrgreen:

Wait till he goes to sleep to put on your face cream and rollers, and arise before him etc, etc. etc.

Be completely obedient, compliant right down to encouraging sound effects...
