But not tall enough to outshine him.
Shoulders back, chest out.
You want to be eye-catching to them
Where a skirt or a sundress
Don’t be easy. Don’t be a whore.
Take a drink or two from a man.
Don’t be a prude.
Be slow on the drinks and be polite
Don’t be a drunk.
Speak when spoken to
But not in his presence
Touches by him can be a compliment
Don’t be dramatic.
Your husband can touch you.
Don’t blow it out of proportion.
He can seek his needs
From you or not. Don’t be nosey.
You have no privacy.
Violence from him is a kiss.
Single woman and a failed marriage is bad for your image.
Teach your daughter the ways of being a wife.
It will be her life soon.
