1930s Marital Scale. I went through it answering the Wife questions for myself and scored a dismal 24, which means I rate “Very Poor (Failure)” as a 1930s housewife. I got dinged for failure to “sew on buttons or darn socks regularly,” not keeping “self dainty, perfumed, and feminine,” and putting my “cold feet on husband at night to warm them” (among others).
Me: I scored a 24. As a 1930s wife, I am Very Poor (Failure).
Snook: I rated myself as Average. We need to answer for each other and see how it compares.
Me: I think the responsibilities for men are somewhat less stringent. 🙂
Snook: There’s room for improvement. I need to provide you with more labour-saving devices, and take you out on dates.
