Y'all, I swear to you that a book called The Total Woman, by Marabel Morgan, came out not so long ago and it was all about how women should do that stuff. A whole cult/industry/whatever sprang up from it, with the author speaking all over the country about it and people coming to blows about it in public. The her husband came out with some companion book about how men should take the lead gently but firmly--titled something like "Iron Hand In a Velvet Glove".
If you want some major laughs, go look for it, it's probably in your library.
