I fear he was reacting to the social conscience of some parts of our culture back then. Which was a mild mistake when he made the quote but today, it's just plain wrong and the quote can be excised without admitting wrong, the number one fear among current leadership.

Just don't teach that stuff and don't have it in there. It's no longer relevant if it ever was, which I daresay was not. It focused upon the wrong aspect, and missed communication as being the key to a successful marriage.
