This is apparently a real article from Housekeeping Magazine circa 1955. Click on the photo to enlarge the text.
A few of my favs:
*remember his topics of conversation are more important than yours
*remember he is the master of the house
*a good wife always knows her place
HUH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I read something very similar in a more recent magazine. Don't remember which magazine exactly. The article was accompanied by many photos of a man and a woman doing, well, you know, wink wink nudge nudge.
My favorite is the ‘be a little gay and a little more interesting for him.’ Interesting how word use changes over time, though I think it still holds for today. If I had a wife and came home to find her a little gay – I would certainly find that interesting!
Sometimes it stinks when this change.
Kidding, I love two incomes (and I get dinner too)!
This was pretty damn funny, and although it might have been published in the 50s, I think it's held up remarkably well. Ha. I sense a 50s theme party with this passed out beforehand as a guidebook.
WIGSF .... Hustler perhaps? You seem like a Hustler type of guy haha.
Aussie Pom, i almost died laughing when i read that, hilarious you are!!!
BB, do you make dinner for Patti??
2DP, I would agree to a 50's theme party and this as the guidebook, as long as woman was changed to man and wife to husband :P
Oh man. One of my bosses gave my friend a copy of that as an early wedding gift. Hilarious!

Of course I like this article if only the roles were reversed. But thats just me.
Haaa haaa haaa!

Hey! What's that supposed to mean?
My boss passed this around last year.
I don't think women's mags have changed so much. I don't' read them very often but every time I do look at them at the dentist, there always seems to be an article about how to please your man sexually by doing the most ridiculous things. "Put rubber sheets on the bed and tar and feather him!" or "Take the anti-freeze from his car and put it in your mouth while you're blowing him!" Who does that crap. We're lucky if we see each other for 20 minutes a week, are we really going to spend that time setting up a trapeze in the bedroom.
What ever happened to the good old days??? hahah

My fave is "You have no right to question him." Awesome.
Ah, yes, the good ol' days. Back when men were men, and sheep were nervous.
I use that in class! :) I teach representation and gender issues and that's sooooo telling.

I always like to put a fresh ribbon in my hair before my husband gets home.
*wearing nothing else of course* HA
I actually got that article when I was in college, one of my teachers gave it to us as an example of generation gaps
Can we burn that magazine?!
