In a similar vein to that book, The Rules, that helped to bring back that good ‘ol 50’s attitude of the servile bride, some new book called The Surrendered Wife explains how the female in the relationship should “as much as possible, mind your own business”. Now as a guy, I am probably supposed to be in support of this sort of anti-woman’s-lib junk; but frankly, this kind of thing makes me cringe.
