Humoring People Isn’t Pleasant

"Humoring a man” sounds like a pleasant and comfortable thing, 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 to a part of the daily 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 up vital friendships, legitimate forms of recreation and even their own individualities in this unworthy causer— Woman’ Home Companion.
