In the 1950s, men were generally expected to embody traditional masculine ideals, which included being the primary breadwinner for their families and demonstrating strength, stoicism, and authority. They were often seen as the decision-makers in both the household and society, adhering to roles that emphasized professionalism and independence. Social norms encouraged men to suppress emotional vulnerability and prioritize work and family responsibilities above all else. This era's cultural expectations reinforced a rigid gender binary, positioning men as dominant figures in both public and private spheres.

The author viewed gender roles in the 1950s as restrictive and oppressive, with women often expected to fulfill traditional roles as homemakers and caretakers, while men were expected to be the breadwinners and authority figures. The author likely critiqued these norms as limiting individual freedom and reinforcing inequality between the sexes.

Women in the 1950's are quite different to the women of today. For example a woman was not allowed to participate in a coverstaion. She had to just stand there and listen. Woman were expected to do as they were told and respect the higher power in this case "men". [sorry this wasn't the answer you were looking for but maybe it has helped you]
full time homemakers
Right up until the 1960s most good parenting skills taught the child to be seen and not heard. In other words, the parents were strict and expected their children to behave or they would be punished.
Men were earners and women were housekeepers.
experimental bias
in the "olden" days women were expected to obey their husbands, this was in their marriage vows, that has since changed during the 1950s.
They are expected to act like adults as almost all are legal adults (18 years and over).
