Feminists may insist that life for women has gotten better since the days when raucous female activists marched in the streets for equality and questioned traditional social mores...
Pollsters say otherwise. Things are out of kilter. And pretty dismal, according to a Harris Poll released Monday.
Eight out of 10 Americans, in fact, say, "Women today are treated with less chivalry than in the past."

How did Lenny Kravitz put it?

LOL.
Lenny Kravitz? Holy crap, you’re young.
Try the Guess Who (1970), years before Lenny was finished wiping snot of his nose.
Do you really compare those so called women with the majority of others? Hollywood has always held up “harlot” types. I don’t compare “regular” men with Obama!!!
I agree that feminism has done a great deal of harm, mostly because it wanted to deny that men and women are different, made for different things and that that was a GOOD thing. My mother worked when I was a kid (back when most mothers were still at home) so I never felt that I couldn’t do whatever it was I wanted. However, I missed having her at home, so when I got married and had kids I wanted to be home with them more than I wanted to have a career. I’m glad we have choices, but to deny that men and women are different is crazy. I for one love men the way they are, even when they annoy me! Viva la difference! :)
Not *all* men have been emasculated and feminized.
You make an excellent point.
I like the Lenny Kravitz version.
Since being "fat" has been perverted to the point where a woman has to look like she just crawled out of Buchenwald to be considered not fat, the term has become meaningless.
I was older than my classmates by a few years, so I didn't put up with that crap.
And I think the stats about women making less for the same work is so much hooey. A business cannot, by law, pay a woman less to do the same job.
I would like to present a slightly different point of view. Respect needs to be maintained. To my mind, saying respect must be earned, means that no one is worthy of respect until certain criteria are met. Again, not trying to be antagonistic, this is JMHO.
I prefer to treat everyone with respect until they act in a manner that makes them unworthy of that respect. When my time on this Earth is done, I shall be judged by what I have done, and not by others reactions to what I have done.
That I was kind, helpful, or courteous, that is on me. That someone called me a pig for doing this, that is on her.
Not all of them but if the Feministas have their way it’ll happen.
Yes, I remember as a teen thinking it made sense for people to be paid the same for the same work. However, it didn’t take long for it to become clear that the real agenda of the feminist movement was legalizing abortion on demand. That’s when they completely lost me.
1 Peter 3:7-9 ... dwell with them with understanding, giving honor to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered. Finally, all of you be of one mind, having compassion for one another; love as brothers, be tenderhearted, be courteous; not returning evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary blessing, knowing that you were called to this, that you may inherit a blessing.
One place I worked, a number of years ago, had one particular supervisor (not mine, but he was in the office all the time) who constantly said denigrating things to the women. Not sexual, just about how women weren’t as smart, etc as men. It was always done in a joking matter, but it was very annoying and I thought they would be lucky if they never got sued (which as far as I know they didn’t). But for the most part, men I have worked with have all treated me like I would like to be treated, with respect and friendship. Certainly in my younger days some men would give me that look. But, I always thought it said more about them than anything else, and I felt sorry for them that they didn’t have enough respect for themselves to respect other people.
Yeah he did a good job with it, though I never really cared for the song that much.
