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

[โ€“] DigitalAudio@sopuli.xyz 11 points 2 days ago (4 children)

That has been me in the past. Not to my wife, but as a younger person, I only read history books and stuff (still do) and felt superior because I did that (I don't do that anymore of course), so I would sneer at my friends' fiction and stuff because it was "worthless" compared to "real history" where you "actually learned stuff".

It's a dumb mindset, and I definitely don't feel like that anymore. I still don't read fiction or enjoy it, but it's just a hobby like any other, or like my thing with history.

Manliness is not purely a physical quality

Surprisingly accepting of trans men for that era

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.

It's apparently legit and from a British author named Blanche Ebbutt.

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.

I remember reading that these were written by a woman, so there was less misogyny.

Some of them are don't do this followed by what to do.

Pfah! I sneer at your bridge-playing!

Margaret handed you your ass every week for the last month! You can't take tricks for shit.

This is... pretty solid honestly. Is there more of a list? With the Do's?
