It's more than that. Over the past few years, I've seen and heard so-called "men" berate women, curse them, slug them, call them gutter names and more. The times I've been able to intervene, I've been threatened myself. I have told them to make my day but to call their families so they can claim the body.

It's disgusting. I was raised to honor women and protect children. I was raised to hold doors, carry heavy loads for those older than I or for those struggling to do so. I was taught to watch my language around women and children and to never, ever dishonor the family name. If my parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles were alive and were to see me do those things, I'd have been likely beaten to a pulp.

What the heck has happened to people.

I don’t know what has happened to people either. I married a wonderful man who behaved in the polite & kind manner that you described.

A few years ago, he turned into the other “man” that you described. He suffered a concussion, so I thought maybe it was that. But, sometimes I wonder if it’s just the overwhelming “crappiness” of society that gets to even decent people? Particularly if you don’t REALLY take care not to hang around with the wrong people & in other ways try to make sure that your moral compass stays firmly grounded.

Whatever it is leaves their victims injured, heartbroken & alone.

The baby stroller could have been weaponized.

If you want more intel, we will need to use the Cone of Silence.

Get Smart.

[Now getting past the ‘Get Smart’ comedy element ...]

‘The times I’ve been able to intervene, I’ve been threatened myself.’

I’ve seen that happen too. And most women try to be ‘good sports’ when men get lewd with them in public. They feel pressured to cheapen themselves.

A lady used to be expected to slap men who got too fresh with them. Now it’s a FELONY?

In the 1950’s and before there was a common name for guys like you. They were called Americans. But they are in short supply today as is shown on this thread.

In your case I can honestly say “Thank you for your service”.

I agree wholeheartedly but you left off the other half of the old school

Women were expected to act a certain way in accordance

Trust today at least in school when boys and girls conflict

The school sided with the girl

Any issue

Schools are run by angry feminists who see girls as victims as they see themselves but at the same time they are encouraged to provoke and be loud albeit with no consequence in a perfect world

It’s inadvertently led to boorishness all around

I think the mom is emotional in the video but not at fault

We have three boys in school

Any issues the boys get blamed

Girls tattle and gossip and start crap but if boys react and just simply yell back then it’s about their anger

Not the girl

Hey it’s kinda like marriage lol

I just had an epiphany
