http://www.pgdp.net  a"Crankisms" by Lisle de Vaux Matthewman is a collection of aphorisms and reflections written in the early 20th century. This book presents witty and often critical observations on human behavior, societal norms, and the complexities of relationships, particularly between men and women. The author combines humor with insight, aiming to provoke thought and self-reflection among readers about their own lives and interactions.  The content of "Crankisms" is comprised of 100 succinct and pointed sayings, each tackling various aspects of human experience, such as love, friendship, vanity, and morality. Matthewman cleverly employs irony and satire to address common prejudices and misperceptions, particularly about gender dynamics. For instance, he explores the difference between how men and women perceive each other, the pitfalls of societal expectations, and the contradictions inherent in human nature. Each aphorism encourages the reader to consider the ironic and often hypocritical nature of societal attitudes, making it both an entertaining and thought-provoking read.
