Let's read exactly what they consider to be how to treat a woman "like a lady":
"The woman's primary contribution to the marriage is her willingness to share her reproductive life with a man and thereby enable him to have a family. "
"Patriarchal socialization is the system which converts female bitchiness into feminine charm and male violence into the constructive labor which generates the wealth of society."
"Those who have noticed the difficulty women have in speaking about what is most precious to them -- love and sex -- may also suggest that the silence is not cultural but inherent; that women, even when they know what they want, will not speak of it because they are 'secretive' or 'manipulative' or 'tricky.' They not only lack a voice, these explanations imply, they lack much more: a morality; a self; a soul. They lack patriarchal morality, civilized morality, morality which can be the basis of family life."
"Women need reminders of how they benefit from patriarchy. They need to know that breaking the rules will result in economic suffering and cause them to be de-classed"
"This withdrawal of male economic support is the best chance for restoring the male kinship system, patriarchy, and with it civilized living"
"She sees how to use the horror over rape as a means not so much to prevent rape as to undermine patriarchy."
"Until recently in rape prosecutions it was customary for the judge to read Sir Matthew Hale's rule that the jury ought to 'view the woman's testimony with caution. The accusation is one easily made and hard to refute'. No more. Feminists tantrumed at the suggestion that a woman might be untruthful, and the legal system, always their willing hand maiden, removed Sir Matthew Hale's 'commonsense admonition'."
