The 1960s were, apparently, a magical time...

Wow.

Australian govt memo, 1968: Women become "spinster battle axes;" "men usually mellow" - Boing Boing:
"Even conceding these points, a woman could not stay young and attractive for ever, and later on could well become a problem.

(vii) A spinster lady can, and very often does, turn into something of a battleaxe with the passing years. A man usually mellows."
