MEN reading novels!? Egads!

Old political cartoon in black and white titled "BLOOMERISM!", warning against the dangers  of the roles of the sexes reversing because of women being allowed to wear bloomers.

It depicts a mustachioed man comfily lounging on a couch in his robe and slippers, with one leg under a blanket, deeply engrossed in a book. Beside him stands a rigid woman wearing bloomers, looking down on him with a stern face. 

The text reads: 
Strong-Minded Female: "Now, do, pray, Alfred, put down that foolish novel, and do something rational. Go and play something on the piano; you never practise, now you're married."
