About This Quote
I would advise a stupid woman always to follow her husband - however, a smart woman should rely on her own instincts. This quote is not bad advice as long as you understand what it means. The first time I read it, I thought it meant that a smart woman should follow her hsuband even if her hsuband is an idiot. However, the second time I read the quote, I understood that it meant that a smart woman shouldn’t follow her hsuband just because he’s an idiot.
It shouldn’t matter who your hsuband is or what you think of him. Your decisions should be based on what you think is best for you.
