A gentleman, no matter his skin color, will step aside for a lady.

I didn't read this whole article because it is whiny and I ain't got time fo dat, but I have seen the occasional group of women walking down the sidewalk, 3 or 4 abreast, where, if I gave a damn, I would have to leave the sidewalk entirely in order to avoid collision. I do have some gentlemanly tendencies here and there, but I am disgusted by the display of narcissism and entitlement that this sort of behavior entails. If it were a section where only a single person could pass, either direction, I would allow the "lady" to go first, but 4 across the whole sidewalk with no regard for other pedestrians? Nope. I keep walking and give them the choice to walk around or get intimate with me in a sudden fashion.

There is an increasing pointlessness in being a gentleman in a world with such a dearth of true ladies.

Of course, you are right. I was born in 1956, guess I haven’t caught up with the times.
