You are correct, sir! I hereby withdraw my previous assertion!
It’s a testament to her Mary’s appeal that she could look so adorable in such a fugly dress! 
That dress was far from fugly; Mary was just too conservative to be comfortable in it (though quite hot enough to pull it off). Ted was right when he said it would have been popular, something I mention because Ted was right exactly 1 & 1/2 times during the entire series.
In other news, you were right about the spelling of the Bewitched characters’ surname. I’d apologize for the correction but my being wrong about it supports the joke you missed, so I shall continue to obstinately use the spelling Stevens.
Works for me. I’m so friggin’ embarrassed about mistaking your post like I did that I’ll happily grant you whatever spelling you like. I just hope people haven’t been too disturbed by the howling of that pooch I screwed.
Funny thing is, I was unsure of the spelling myself when I made my original post and so tried it with both the “ph” and “v” and decided based on a guess that “ph” looked better. So I only stumbled into it the right way to begin with.
I’ll phone her either tomorrow (unlikely as I’m going out on the piss) or the next day if you like.
Any specific questions anyone wants me to ask her about my theory are welcome as otherwise I’ll put it just my way. I will probably be circumspect on the sexual stuff as while she will discuss it with me will be a bit confused if it gets too much that way.
I’d like to hear her reaction to that list and whether she feels that it accurately describes her and if so, was she happy within her married life.
Unlikely as it is, I think it would be hilarious to learn she despised her husband.
Sort of interesting OP, but shallow, because there is no ‘traditional woman’. What there is, is a ‘traditional relationship’. That means that what the traditional woman is negotiating for with her (body, subservience, lifetime of menial work) is a traditional man: financial support, good father, has traditional manly skill set, defends honor of family, etc.
It’s a set of mutual obligations, not a person.
Oh, and ick.
