By old-fashioned do you mean the ideal working woman holding down a job and taking care of the house, the kids and the old man with his feet up and her in unpaid servitude?
Dream on. Those days are gone. Women are not going to take it anymore. They've got the vote and they're being elected. So get your feet off the sofa and go to work with the vacuum cleaner!
Okay, the 3rd line you mention Mary has a sweetheart, then immediatelybfollowed by the 4th line that says she is the dream of every man. So, my question to you is: Who is that "she" you are referring to? - Did you mean Mary's sweetheart is the dream of every man, or did you mean Mary? I got a little confused.
