I was researching how male children interact with their mothers in various cultures and came across this gem from right here in the good ol' USA. I'm still truing to figure out if this is for real:
How To Make A Lady Out Of A Girl
2. Teach her strict obedience. Other chapters stress the fact that obedience is the most necessary ingredient to be required from the child. This is especially true in the life of a girl, for she must be obedient all of her life. The boy who is obedient to his mother and father will someday become the head of the home; not so for the girl. Whereas the boy is being trained to be a leader, the girl is being trained to be a follower. Hence, obedience is far more important to her, for she must someday transfer it from her parents to her husband.
3. She should not be allowed to play alone with boys. The parents should see to it that she plays with other girls. This is important for many reasons. She should play only with toys that are uniquely for girls. This, by all means, should include dolls, doll clothes, housecleaning equipment, dishes, pots and pans, etc. She should participate in sports enough to become coordinated but she should not excel in sports. If later she marries a man who is very athletic, she could become more proficient in some particular sport that he enjoys, but if she becomes an expert in a sport that is usually associated with men and boys, it could prove embarrassing to her future husband, and for that matter, it could entice her to become more masculine than she ought to be.
12. Teach her to plan for a profession but to hope that it will not be needed. Mothers and fathers should teach their daughters to train for some kind of profession that is always in demand. There is always the possibility that the daughter will never marry or that she will become a widow with children to rear and will not remarry. Because of this she should plan to pursue some profession that will enable her to support herself and her children in any eventuality. She should be taught that if possible, she should not follow this profession when married. This gives her a dependence, if the opportunity arises to be dependent, but an independence if needed. There are many professions that a young lady could pursue such as that of a school teacher, beautician, secretary, nurse, etc.

I was not born to obey men.
I was not born to follow any of the unproven contradicting religions of the world.

(49,212 posts)FWIW, Jack Hyles was so much of a family man that he had two of them: he forced his church secretary's husband to live in the basement for years so he could play house with her uninterrupted.
His son David was a chip off the old block and lost his pulpit for treating his church like a harem.

Aren't mindless stereotypes fun?

That is actually rather tame compared to some of the stuff on that vile site. You should see what they say about LGBT people. It would make your blood boil.

This kind of crap makes me wonder - if I am more knowledgeable than the man, then why can't he hand it?
