Wish I could say the same. It'll never happen, sadly. I should have been around in the 40's when women were generally better behaved and better looking. They didn't play mind games then, if they did, they would get their faces smacked by the men.
People have always played mind games. They aren't a post war invention.
The whole slapping the hysterical woman thing was simply a writing device that rested on the mores of the time. Think about it, during WWII women started working outside the home and didn't want to give up their independence. Many men were probably suffering from PTSD as well. Anyway, reading up on some social history of the time might broaden your perspective somewhat.
