It is used in the following sentence: "There's a meanness and cynicism rampant, and fresh air is needed. Besides, your job is just as much at risk if you join the ranks of the Stepford librarians by remaining silent." I believe it might have something to do with a movie called The Stepford Wives. But what does it mean exactly?
