I was taught to give my seat to a lady on a trolley or a bus
I was taught to open a door, pull out the seat and stand for a lady
No 'lady' has to demand a thing .... we American men hold ladies in high honor
American men
And Thank you Kindly.....
And you know a liberal man when he lets the door fall in your face. You know what you are dealing with. What kind of upbringing must this person have had?
I know the feminists made it confusing. But Gentlemen know.
You are old and out of date. Women are now our equals, just “one of the guys.” Sorry!
More times than not when I hold a door for or give a seat to a female they act quite surprised. Lost count of how many times I’ve seen men going into stores, restaurants etc. with a woman and just walking in front with complete disregard. Kind of a sad commentary on the general manners of men nowadays......... just my old fashioned 2 cent.
And ladies always say thank you when a gentleman holds a door for us.....I always do. And thank you for being a considerate gentleman.
I was thinking about being taught to stand when a lady enters as well as calling to attention when the Commanding Officer enters a room, etc.
If it is to correct a lack of discipline in the staff I see no issues here - I think the staff is up in arms about it and complained to the paper. Probably using it as a sample of the other things they are being required to do....like work.
Then again it’s DC .... so yeah she likely things she’s due.
