"I was brought up in an age where manners and chivalrous behaviour counted for far more than they do today. We were taught at home, and at school, to honour,cherish ,and respect all women,everywhere, and to treat them accordingly. One would stand aside on the pavement (sidewalk) to allow a lady to pass---Open doors for ladies, and always allow them to enter first---stand up if a woman entered the room--stand up and offer one"s seat, on a crowded bus or train, to a female, especially one who was elderly,or pregnant---walk on the outside of one"s female companion on the pavement (sidewalk)-----And, of course,take appropriate measures if a lady was verbally or physically harrassed or assaulted by a male !!! If that was Sexist, or patronising, then Yes!! We were all as guilty as Hell, but I think most women preferred our behaviour then, to the selfish and predatory way in which they are treated today !! But the "Feminists " ( and how un-feminine most of them are !! ) have a lot to answer for, I think.

Perfect in every detail, Roger. How did you know the way I was brought up?

Seriously tho', how did this way of behaving become so unacceptable to women? What is wrong with having the respect, and admiration of 50% (give or take a few) of the human race?
