I guess they really did assume you moved directly from your parents' house, maybe to a dorm, then maybe to a roommate situation with other young women, but never lived alone.
I loved living alone before shacking up with my dude 9 years ago. He did too. It was hard learning to share space. If we could live in two halves of a duplex, I'd be in heaven.

She gets the burdens of traditional wife-roles (she should make his breakfast and darn his socks, cause without a lady around, he'd set the house on fire, drown the children and do it all while half naked and dirty!) AND she gets the burdens of equality (she should be financially responsible, and contribute to her household).
So, she doesn't get the upside of either old fashioned wifely comfort OR progressive equality, like him taking a turn with the vacuum? That's kind of balls.

Now, has he ever seen you when you're unaware that you don't look your best? i.e. Kelly Clarkson pre-photoshop.

The rest of it is very interesting in that the quiz acknowledges that the woman probably has her own job or education, but requires her to do 100% of the domestic duties. It's basically like, "Are you ready to work the Second Shift?"

But, I thought we were making progress in moving past this "purple is the color of the antichrist" phase.

This is really the only question they needed to ask.

God bless quaint mid-century euphemisms.

1.) Is your man living a double life? If so, does his mild-mannered side make enough money to support your lifestyle?
2.) Is your man possessive--as in, he'd have a problem with you running around the city in a spandex unitard strangling villains with your thighs?
3.) Are YOU possessive--as in, you'd have a problem with him running around the city in an atomically correct rubber suit?
4.) Is your man the villain? If he is, are you prepared, financially and emotionally, to live without him during those jail or asylum stays?
5.) Does your man have anger issues? If he turns green and tears down buildings when you forget the cream in his coffee, it could indicate a problem in the relationship. And you don't want to spend every night having to sew up all his split pants!
6.) Do you or your man have certain physical....attributes that could create issues in the bedroom? You can't be fingered by your fella when he has steel claws, and you can't go down on him if you breathe fire.
7.) Does your man have a sidekick? If so, is that sidekick young, male with slender legs? Oh....I see... Oh dear....well.....there's really no need to continue the quiz. If it's any consolation, I hear The Calendar Man is single.
