This was read aloud by one of the bride's maids at a nephews wedding. I found myself thinking, "What's wrong with that? She'd be happier, he'd be happier, all would be well. The marriage could last for decades." Then the bride'smaids all laughed derisively at the "old-fashioned" advice, stating categorically that their friend the bride would *never* comport herself that way. The P-whipped groom and groomsmen nodded sheepishly and many, mostly women in the assembled party laughed.
Me? I sat quietly, thinking that this is as God intended, that women were to be subservient to men, that even the Bible states that women must be this way. Even the good Christians assembled at this Irish wedding (which felt more like an Irish wake) chuckled at how "outrageous" the advice to brides in the '50's was.
Point is, none of them even considered that this strategy would keep men happy. Of course, no one gives a damn about that now; men are expected to be New Age-y, sensitive "equal" partners, who will in divorce get f*cked despite their alleged "equality." She and her female friends will ensure that he is castrated, penned and domesticated like a steer until she tires of him or "needs space to find (her)self." Pitiful, really.
Thanks Orange for bringing back this bitter memory of a wedding from Hell. Gotta say though, those Irish colleens sure can be smokin' hot!
