I wanted to share these wonderful sketches from a UK TV show from the 90s.
Some feminists may HATE them, but as a feminist I love them because they are mocking the sexist attitudes of the 1930/40s and the attitudes people accepted as the "norm". I think its very healthy to mock these old fashioned "values"......its also very very funny

Here is an old "Good House Keeping" Article from 1955. It talks about how to be a good housewife.
The Good Wife's Guide
From Housekeeping Monthly, 13 May, 1955.
Have dinner ready.
Plan ahead, even the night before, to have a delicious meal ready on time for his return. This is a way of letting him know that you have be thinking about him and are concerned about his needs. Most men are hungry when they get home and the prospect of a good meal is part of the warm welcome needed.
Prepare yourself. Take 15 minutes to rest so you'll be refreshed when he arrives. Touch up your make-up, put a ribbon in your hair and be fresh-looking. He has just been with a lot of work-weary people.
Be a little gay and a little more interesting for him. His boring day may need a lift and one of your duties is to provide it.
Clear away the clutter. Make one last trip through the main part of the house just before your husband arrives. Run a dustcloth over the tables.
During the cooler months of the year you should prepare and light a fire for him to unwind by. Your husband will feel he has reached a haven of rest and order, and it will give you a lift too. After all, catering to his comfort will provide you with immense personal satisfaction.
Minimize all noise. At the time of his arrival, eliminate all noise of the washer, dryer or vacuum. Encourage the children to be quiet.
Be happy to see him.
Greet him with a warm smile and show sincerity in your desire to please him.
Listen to him. You may have a dozen important things to tell him, but the moment of his arrival is not the time. Let him talk first - remember, his topics of conversation are more important than yours.
Don't greet him with complaints and problems.
Don't complain if he's late for dinner or even if he stays out all night. Count this as minor compared to what he might have gone through at work.
Make him comfortable. Have him lean back in a comfortable chair or lie him down in the bedroom. Have a cool or warm drink ready for him.
Arrange his pillow and offer to take off his shoes. Speak in a low, soothing and pleasant voice.
Don't ask him questions about his actions or question his judgment or integrity. Remember, he is the master of the house and as such will always exercise his will with fairness and truthfulness. You have no right to question him.
A good wife always knows her place.

Actually, I don't find these videos funny, but rather very stupid. If I was a man, I'd lie about my gender after watching these dudes' pathologic behavior. Please, don't stereotype feminists, ok? How do you even know it drives them crazy? Have you met any?

The problem is that stupidity doesn't make me laugh, that doesn't mean that "I go crazy because of it", quite the opposite, I ignore the helpless cases. That applies not only to sexism.
At the very least you can't say that ALL of them [feminists, of course, which is the derogatory term for whoever does not have fun in the patriarchy] "go crazy"!
