I agree 100%. That’s not to say more gentlemanly behavior would decrease divorces, though. I do think it would be a good thing in any event.

I also think gentlemanly behavior is a good thing. I tried to teach my sons to be respectful and considerate, as did my wife.

My 16 year old son was recently playing in a basketball tournament in Houston. (I wasn’t there, but his coach verified what happened). They were on a bus, when a woman got on and there were no more seats. Apparently she was fairly hefty in size. My son got up to offer her a seat, just like we taught him to do for a female of any age or condition. She hit him with her purse and said “do I look old or pregnant to you?”

I doubt he will offer his seat to anyone again, and I can’t say that I blame him.
