Well, I don’t wear hats usually, but I do hold doors for ladies, regardless of their reaction to it. I remember seeing in older movies that when a lady walked into a room full of men, the men stood up as a gesture of respect. I sertainly have never witnessed that in person, I’m 48.
Women have lost their sense of who they are. In the overall scope of things, women are sacred because they carry within them the capability of nurturing and producing LIFE. Jesus samctified the reproductove process by choosing the Blessed Virgin Mary to be his mother. All women are fashioned as Mary is, therefore all should be treated with the utmost respect.
Our culture has sacrificed true womanhood, that is to say, the way it was intended by God, on the altar of contraception and abortion on demand. Pornography has objectified women in the minds of millions of men, so much so that they are considered by many to be mere playthings to be discarded once used.
Is it any wonder that women feel they are being treated in a less than respectful manner by most men they encounter?
Great Post. Thank you!

So you've never been in the Army?
I've stood for women, pulled out chairs, tipped my hat, given up my seat, opened doors and even been careful to walk on the street side of sidewalks with women. Usually unspoken reactions vary from "What the hell are you doing" to bewilderment to thanks. I don't care. I was raised that way and am too old to change. I've never gone as far as one old Polish gentleman I knew who, when introduced to a lady, would click his heels and kiss her hand.
