Yes, I grew up in the dark ages of the 50s and 60s, not only that - I grew up in a largely Catholic, lower middle class, immigrant neighborhood. You know those religions neanderthal men that dragged their women by the hair! Not. Picture this, around 1962 a bunch of cousins aunts and uncles are over the house. My younger cousin Beth keeps taking my toys, I get upset and slap her - well you would have thought I slapped the Pope! The men in the house made it clear in no uncertain terms that you NEVER hit woman or girl. As I grew up I also learned from these neanderthal men that you open the door for a lady, you carry the groceries, you shovel the snow of the female neighbor, etc, etc. I never heard my father or uncles even swear in front of their wives and daughters, and you never ever take sexual advantage of a woman. How was it that these unenlightened religiously conservative men had more respect for women than a lot of the "pro-women" liberal men of today?

How To Treat A Woman
Atheism is the cult of death, the death of hope. The universe is doomed, you are doomed, the only thing that remains is to await your execution...

I've mentioned before that the first time I ever heard the word "chauvinist" was as a child from a woman that I held a door open for.

Originally posted by stfoskey15 View PostI don't see why opening the door, swearing, or carrying groceries should be different for men and women. I can see shoveling snow for female neighbors, as women have less upper body strength than men on average, but if they can do it themselves without trouble, then I don't think it's necessary. But yes taking sexual advantage of or hitting a woman is obviously bad.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Last week, one of my female coworkers and I were both heading for the door from our office area to the hallway. She got there first and held the door until I arrived. Of course, I said 'Thank you' before we went our separate ways.
I don't think you mean it but did I disrespect her?
Even worse, did I exploit my white male privilege by allow her to assume a subservient role to me? (I don't think so but I know there are people who would say "Yes!!!""For I desire mercy, not sacrifice, and acknowledgment of God rather than burnt offerings." Hosea 6:6

I have held the door open for people, men and women, if I get to the door first. Usually the men will tell me to go through first. But if they didn't, I wouldn't have a problem with it.
