the weaker sex?

Happy Friday!

I just found this excerpt from a 1943 article about how to handle female employees. It gives 11 tips, including the following:

No. 3: General experience indicates that "husky" girls - those who are just a little on the heavy side - are more even-tempered and efficient than their underweight sisters.

No. 8: Give every girl an adequate number of rest periods during the day. You have to make some allowances for feminine psychology.

No. 10: Be reasonably considerate about using strong language around women. Even though a girl's husband or father may swear vociferously, she will grow to dislike a place of business where she hears too much of this.

Crazy, huh? Although I wouldn't mind some mandatory rest periods during the day...
