[Phone, filtered from drones etc.]

This question is largely for the women with drones as their assigned spouses. How do you deal with their rather narrow attitudes toward what you should be doing? With the children I can at least tell them to run along and do their homework, but ever since Sirius got droned he's been giving me no end of grief.

On a more general note... women's trousers. I know they existed in this era, does anyone have any idea where I might find some?

Well, our drone children go to school like clockwork. Perhaps your drone has someplace he goes for work on schedule? If so, help yourself to whatever you find you look good in. He can always replenish such garments.

He has some sort of vaguely defined office job. Nine to five, of course. I suppose the script might be so set he doesn't even notice.

I’m sure if you time it right, you’ll be fine.
I personally don’t have an aversion to skirts, but pants can be quite comfortable casually.
It seems odd to me they don’t supply them here.
It’s obviously not historically accurate.
To me, it seems this world is based off of someone’s view of a simpler time.
Though that’s just speculation.

There are some activities for which trousers are simply infinitely more practical. This town is far more restrictive than the 1950s truly were. Sexism was a major problem back then, but women's lib goes back farther than this.

I concur completely.
I’d read quite a few history books before coming here.
It’s an almost Victorian view of femininity in a near perfect setting.
Speaking of reading, have you been to the library?
The only interesting thing I can find is a Harlequin romance novel simply because I am female.
I wonder if I can get Adachi to get me some other things to read.
