  1. “They must be hefty enough to withstand a “rough and tumble” and they must be fairly good looking.”

    If I was ever to create a dating profile, I’d want to use that line.

  2. Other than the rampant sexism in the article I’m going to assume that the marriage ban is specifically to avoid having pregnant women risking themselves. 

  3. I think the HEFT was the real important thing.

    Back then, I feel for them a ‘high standard of intelligence’ for a woman, would be being able to open a door.
