Boys can eat! Girls can cook!
3 commentsMy jaw dropped to the floor when my friend Eli sent me this, and then I started uncontrollably giggling because this is just too ridiculous. This is a real page from a children's book written in the 1960s called I'm Glad I'm a Boy! I'm Glad I'm a Girl! You might be inclined to think this is a hoax or meant to be some sort of satire, but Gwen at Sociological Images has strong evidence to refute both those suspicions.

Hahahah funny stuff, I think it is a little sexist for its time, but good enough for it to be published.
