Where's the bit about the wife being good in bed?

 

[Taikero]

I forwarded this to my coworkers, many of whom forwarded it to their wives.

I'd say there are some things the 50's were good for.

What went wrong in the past 50 years, and what do we have to do to get back to those wonderful years???

Before you get too gung-ho about sending this along, you should know it's a fake.

My wife makes more money than me, enjoys my mediocre cooking, is a spectacular haggler, and indulges my every ridiculous whim just enough. I wouldn't trade anything for her, let alone some Stepford automaton.

Interesting, but the link says that the status is "undetermined" not that it is a fake.

Whether the piece at hand is a genuine excerpt from a yet-undiscovered home economics textbook, it is nonetheless a relatively accurate reflection of the mainstream vision of a woman's appointed role in post-war America, as evinced by such educational training films as "The Home Economics Story" (made familiar to a whole new generation of youngsters through its spoofing on the popular Mystery Science Theater 3000 program).

It does note that the picture attached, as well as the attribution to "Housekeeping Monthly" are both inaccurate.

The only "undetermined" part of it is the fact that it cannot be stated empirically that no one published this seriously before it began its circulation as a piece of "gee whiz" fiction in the 1980s.

As it is displayed above it is undisputedly fake.
