Agreed.
But one reaps what one sows with their behavior.
And I do not consider feminism, which is a form of leftism. to be an ideology that believes in polite behavior. Quite the contrary. They have made their gains largely by being hostile, impolite, and demeaning.
But men, once again, are supposed to smile when we are being kicked in the teeth and we are supposed to say, “Thank ma’amsir, may I have another?”
I’ve had enough women sneer at my gentlemanly behavior that I am now hesitant to be gentlemanly to anyone. If I take that chance and someone is rude, they get a very nasty response, far nastier than they would ever have expected. I like that look of shock on their faces. They need to know that politeness begets politeness and rudeness begets rudeness. Middle class men have been the scapegoat and the punching bag long enough.
But the short of the story is that, once again, feminists, which are a form of leftist, want the absolute best of everything and they want everyone to be nice to them and praise them while they are destroying others.
Exactly, I grew up in a family of mostly boys, I open doors for men if I am in the position to do it and I gladly accept a man, a woman, or a child opening a door for me.
When women and men reject the time-proved practice of chivalry, you get what I observed yesterday: a foolish guy kicked a woman “friend”/acquaintance of his in the butt. Her friends (and she) took objection - the friends were very very vocal in taking him on. I guess they weren’t so happy about seeing their friend treated as an “equal”-to-male-friends.
This was among liberal-college students.
I bet they would heartily disagree with this study.
Respect for women can not be overdone by men.
