This does look like it can be straight from the 50s, does it not? Including the first line of the article,

“Basic ‘female’ skills are becoming endangered with fewer young women able to iron a shirt, cook a roast chicken or hem a skirt.”

Well, spank me with a spatula! Who knew the state of our generation was so domestically dire — it’s time to rally the troops and learn these critical life skills before it’s too late, ladies; thousands of roast chickens depend on it.

Seriously though, read the rest of the article, it’s really quite hilarious — bullet points included.

h/t to Nate.
