You must stay quiet

(A husband does not want a wife who disagrees)

You must obey

(Women should always be subservient)

You must cover yourself

(Only w****s dress like that)

You must stay at home

(A wife cannot be a party girl)

You must take care of your children

(Nobody likes a bad mother)

You must get paid less

(You can’t do a better job than a man)

You must always be smiling

(You look pretty when you smile)

You must stay thin

(Doesn’t matter how you do it, just do it)

You must be polite

(If you are rude, then it must be your time of the month)

You must be able to cook

(How else are you going to look after your husband and children)
