    This is not an urban legand, i was born in the 50's and during home ec classes in the late 60's , statements like that were indeed in print. Have any of u ever seen "Fried Green Tomatoes"? it shows the lead character attending classes for some kind of female potential satisfaction.

    No wonder sisters were told to stay with abusive , drunken husbands during that time period. look what was mainstream.

    Look at old reruns of "i love lucy" or "the dick van dyke show". Not to mention "ozzie and hariot" "leave it to beaver" and so many more. I remember my mom probably trying to i've up to that absurd list. so whether the list is real or not-the comments it makes are real.

    Englishman,

    That image is a fake, as was pointed out at the Snopes link. There is absolutely no evidence that this was a real article, but the content is pretty funny in today's context and is very reminiscent of popular attitudes of that era.

    I sent your post around at work, and just sat at my desk, and listened to all the laughter going around as people opened the email !

    Likewise at my work. They are still laughing 3 days later. Some have shared it with wives, husbands, boyfriends, and girlfriends. We all needed a good laugh too.

    Freeman,

    Where is the nearest hospital where you live? We'll come visit you after your wife gets done working you over. You'll need more than luck - you'll need a team of doctors...

    Be a little gay and a little more interesting for him.

    Maybe I'm a little immature for thinking this is hilarious!!!
