Vintage Wisdom: Sell her on your Electronics Projects

[ARRAY]

Ah yes, the age old problem of getting your significant other to accept your hobby. Courtesy Electronics Illustrated c1959, a "schemeatic" primer for men of the day...

That is priceless!

I agree Bane-ster. It's nice to read an article of a man freely speaking his mind. I've simultaneously posted this old timey article to other forums and it's already been called mysogynistic (and by a guy too of all crazy things!). Men and womens minds are radically different which is why this article is so timeless (the problem still exists today). Never being one to be politically correct, I see it as an electronics buff telling it like it is before modern-era marxist political correctness took over everyone's free thoughts. Long live the 50's!

I don't subscribe to the blatant 1950's sexism but it is an interesting snapshot of how things used to be.

I have a feeling it was a little over the top even in 1959. A little tongue in cheek even then.

That was interesting.
