Humoring People Isn’t Pleasant

“Humoring a man” sounds like a pleasant and comfortable thingy but when one links humoring with the question of who makes the money, It does not seem very flattering to the humorer or the humoree. And what a lamentable sight is that of the humoree, what deep inequality it implies and what an absence of any real respect or understanding between two people in whose lives humoring Is a part of the dally routine. When the one to be humored is a woman, it may mean that a man has been forced into the craven part of doing anything for the sake of peace. There are few concessions some men will not make to avoid a domestic storm. Some unfortunate men there are who even give wp vital friendships, legitimate forms of recreation and even their own individualities in this unworthy cause.— Woman’ Home Companion.
