also never eat an olive whole
Part of the alksdjflk amounts of homework I have to do is a book report on a book of my choice for my Nonverbal Communication class. So I chose Vogue's Book of Etiquette, a complete guide to traditional forms and modern usage.
From 1948.
So keep that in mind when you read this excerpt:
"When a woman is lunching or dining with a man, it is she who suggests that is time to go home. She does not, however, suggest "moving along." The man with whom she is dining may have planned to spend the evening in the restaurant, lingering over dinner; or he may have planned to meet other people at a certain time. It is up to him to take the initiative in making any further arrangements for the evening (frankly, because he will have to pay for them), unless he asks her for suggestions. But it is she who suggests that it is getting late, and time to end the evening."
.....Yeah.
Another one of my favorites so far: "Women (and men too, of course) should not smoke while dancing."
THESE ARE IMPORTANT THINGS WOMEN NEEDED TO BE TOLD.
