Guest ~bean~ Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Well, there's two sides to this coin - 1. Boys not taught to be gentlemanly or males of any age who don't care. 2. The women's lib movement (need I explain?). Yes to both! I was worried about bringing up point 2, but now that it has been broached by a woman And yes I am of the generation that opens doors! But I dunno hey? An apparition dressed in black leather that from behind looks like two pit bulls fighting in a tent, with pink hair looking like it just lost a fight with a brush cutter and more chains hanging from various appendages than hang from an Auzzie outhouse toilet cistern, boots more suited to a building site, a ring through the nose that you just really, really, want to give a bit of a pull to see what happens, and a bunch of tattoo's that spell words that don't exist in the dictionary? Rather lock myself behind the door Whats the bet that kinda woman doesn't even know how to boil an egg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My husband always opens my car door and opens doors for me - but he also opens doors for other people (both sexes) who have the need for help. Women's lib has nothing to do with it - It's just commonsense and good manners. If I see anyone struggling with an armload of packages or other encumbrances - I offer help and usually it's graciously accepted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HIS girl Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 '~bean~' I've got three BIL's up there. And if God is merciful they will remain eternally single LOL. Unless they run into Fez's pink haired, leather clad monstrosity... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good teaching Mum I also tell my boys to pick up dropped items for folks instead of walking past - you would THINK that would be commonsense to people but no.......... My kids are pretty good though when it comes to manners for their age.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's happened to gentlemanly behaviour......? Men here, in Texas, generally hold the door for women....but it's a proven fact that Texans are polite people (for the most part.)
