But hey, I'm a guy, and at least I learned how to sew buttons on from my father, who learned it in the Army, so it was all right...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3904461976821332291.post-49768826696815880072008-03-25T13:21:00.000-04:002008-03-25T13:21:00.000-04:002008-03-25T13:21:00.000-04:00I think the last section is most revealing. Even though women get help with the rest of their chores (with much derision from men), there is no mention of ever helping them out with raising the children.<BR/>And men DON'T want to see a woman all dressed up at the table? Geez, why am I spending all this money on clothes then?shahnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13899415657297920724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3904461976821332291.post-88771709963849510562008-03-24T11:25:00.000-04:002008-03-24T11:25:00.000-04:002008-03-24T11:25:00.000-04:00OK, sounds like it was the cat's meow.

I've heard it in a lot of humor from the period, including cartoons and films, leading me to believe it was just one of those phrases that caught on, like "Wassup?" or "Gettin' jiggy with it."Kyle Millerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02556368340836325825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3904461976821332291.post-8686789928616988292008-03-21T10:49:00.000-04:002008-03-21T10:49:00.000-04:002008-03-21T10:49:00.000-04:00Setting aside the startling sexism... I don't get the "he should have stood in bed" comment. Any clue what that might have meant to someone in 1959?Wutzkenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3904461976821332291.post-84285963142106380942008-03-21T10:11:00.000-04:002008-03-21T10:11:00.000-04:002008-03-21T10:11:00.000-04:00I'm not a woman, but I'm offended on behalf of women everywhere! I disagree with the implications that women are inferior and good only for sewing buttons, darning socks, and chasing children. I wasn't anywhere near being alive when the original article was written (my dad was only 7), but was that really the attitude towards women? <BR/><BR/>Not offended by your blog (interesting and entertaining!), but the content of this article is out there.Keydetpiperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16579450869788722629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3904461976821332291.post-42692908658678329462008-03-21T08:04:00.000-04:002008-03-21T08:04:00.000-04:002008-03-21T08:04:00.000-04:00Just discovered your blog today.
