Consider yourself fortunate. I’ve been told on more than one occasion that my holding a door was denigrating to women.

Several years ago my morning radio partner (a female) told a story about seeing a bumper sticker on a woman's car that said, "Proud Feminist". My morning partner said, "Oh, she's a feminist? How cute!" I laughed so hard my belly hurt.

Also, people who check their cell phones in dark movie theaters deserve to have their phones cooked in the popcorn machine until they explode.

Just what we need: movie patrons in a million pieces!

The kids think the elders are just quaint and will be gone soon, so none of that matters to them. They also see no point to utensils if a tortilla/wrap is available.

Saw an article yesterday about how people with lots of visible tattoos and piercings are no longer facing job discrimination because of their decorations.

Within 15 years or less, they will be doing all the hiring and if you are 50 today, you will no longer be considered due to *advanced age*.

Speaking of chewable:

These food organizations that think showing some jerk, or either gender, stuffing a large mass of food into their gaping maw, is going to make me want to buy their product.

If I want to see slobbering and drooling; I’ll watch my pets wolf down their chow!

As I was reading the list, I kept thinking “this is NOT American Culture”,

these are symptoms of LOSING our American Culture to postmodern Humanist thought.

No kidding. I hold doors open and smile. I guess we are both good looking “old men.” Of course I will hold the door open for men, children, and women.

I wholeheartedly agree with many of these. Point 12 regarding the Church is a reflection of the fact that the church is really the people that make it up, not the buildings, not the clergy. When people stop teaching their children about their faith, or neglect to sustain it themselves, that’s what happens.
The interesting part about 12 and 1 are that if folks remembered Psalm 119:165 they could get past their offense. “Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them”(KJV)

Hip-Hop should have been on that list. I find it very annoying, especially played at high volume from a car with 72” subwoofers and the windows rolled down. My mirrors vibrate so I can’t see behind me.

The proper response is, “I didn’t open the door for you because you’re a woman. I did it because I am a gentleman.”

I have often held a door open for another man, I wonder why they never complained.

15) The Degradation Of Manliness: Men are often shown as bumbling weaklings on TV, feminists complain if men open doors for them, and we celebrate metrosexuals and wimpiness while putting down real masculinity. Then, what do we hear over and over again from women? "Where are the real men?"

At one time I worked in a department run by a woman and heavily weighted by gender feminists. The type that would complain if you opened the door for them, and if you didn't as well.

One day a bunch of them were sitting around complaining because they all were single or divorced, and they couldn't find a man with whom they were compatible (which of course, they needed "like a fish needs a bicycle"). As I was walking by, the loudest one wailed "where have all the good men gone?"

I smiled at them and said "why, they're married to the good women, Amy". It actually shut them up, for the first time I could remember...

To the gentlemen who open doors-I thank you and you will always get a big smile and a “thank you” from this lady...

Addition to the list:

Commercials for RX drugs...and the list of side effects-which usually includes death, diarrhea or both- and is spoken at the speed of light, while a picture on the screen shows a couple holding hands on the beach, all lovey-dovey and oblivious to the fact that they could have spontaneous diarrhea and/or bleeding gums at any moment-or just drop dead in the sand...
