Saw this and just had to share. A serious blast from a seriously sexist past.

Religion is obviously important. They made it worth 10 points!

In the interest of you guys getting a rating, here's both of Crane's not-at-all biased tests:

Interesting that religion isn't mentioned on the husband test.

, apparently only for the wife and children. She is to allow her husband to sleep in on Sundays. Proof that religion is a control mechanism....I think so.

Oh my... I come out with a minus 5. I could get up into the positive if I go to church and take the kid with me.
I do let the hubby sleep in on Sundays and holidays... is it my fault he's a morning person who gets up before me every single day of the world??
Joe ended up with a total of 19... if he'd take me on a date a few times a week, we could REALLY bump up that score.

I think it'd be a whole lot easier to rate my wife if I had one.

So, since I don't have a wife, which one of my girlfriends do I rate or do I rate my partner?

There's probably a big "Engages in polyamory (-75)" in the demerit side, though.

Nice catch. Guys can only get to 31.
I hope this means these aren't the complete tests, that or Crane was just a misanthropist who wanted everyone to feel bad about one another and themselves.
