What? Is that a foreign concept to you ? Some of us still believe that, boys dont hit girls, you open a door for a lady, get up and offer your seat to woman, you dont curse or use foul language. Women are special, they are to be treated like a lady. Even when they dont necessarally act like one.
No, it's a sick, sexist, 19th century concept.

People shouldn't hit PEOPLE!

Doors should be held open for those who NEED the door held open for them.


Women don't need your seat....but if you were a 90 year old guy on a bus I would give YOU my seat.

Women curse and use foul language...there is a time and place for everything....NO one should use bad language as a matter of course or make it a habit.

When you say women are special that's very sexist...all women are not alike ...they're NOT cattle.


Everyone has their own definition of "lady"....men do NOT get to decide the "correct" definition anymore.

Not all women(actually not many at all) live to be judged a "lady" by men...it's really NOT their life goal


Real women don't give a damn what you think of them.

Well I have to say it. This is a good post. We do live in a world that is supposed to be equal opportunity. The down side of course is less chivalry.
That does not excuse all those witnesses who did nothing. That would fall under doing the morally right thing. Helping a fellow human in time of crisis.

I personally wish more men felt this way.

ah but that would require a little bit of compromise. We don't do that so well these days.

According to some, you are a sexist! This cannot be.....a woman getting special respect from a man? The outrage! Some "men" (loosely) and women think chivalry is disrespectful to women. These "guys" think they are being heroes to their sistas or girlfriends, but many times it is the reason they can not get a female, and have to resort to rest areas and midnight visits to the park.

Well we had chivalry and women still got beaten and raped and murdered by MEN.

Being considerate doesn't mean compromise anyway....if I saw ANYONE with their arms full I'd hold a door open for them, young, old, male, female...common sense, instead of sexism, goes a long way....

Yeah ... I totally agree. In my opinion, the women's lib movement did much more harm than good. Many guys have no clue how many woman out there long for the days when men were more chivalrous. But yes, this is off the topic so this is all I'm going to say.
