I appreciate your question and think it is a good question. I am not sure, though, if I would say better so much as I would say different. Society used to realize that there were differences between men and women and women were treated with respect for their femininity. Sadly that is something that is lost.I’m not treating men poorly. I’m just saying shouldn’t men treat women better

I meant, like, the 1920s, since hussie is a very outdated term. (Once again, I was joking, because I find people who think women shouldn’t wear pants ridiculous.)What is a Catholic from the 20s??

Yes but that photo doesn’t tell the whole story. That same smiling man may have gone home, put his feet up, demand his wife promptly serve him a cocktail and then slap her across the face because it was served too warm. And she would often have no recourse.

It could be like Mad Men. They all dressed really snazzy, but it isn’t like most of the characters on the show were models of morality. That guy looks all gentlemanly and well dressed, but he could be also a drunken adulterer. That maybe ain’t his wife and he has been day drinking since before 10 am.

Very clearly, GhostofBBM is just trolling. Pay him no mind.

Okay, yes, that is a possibility and yes domestic violence happens. It happened in the past but it also still happens today but that is not what the question is here. Besides that they could go home and she be the one who is all angry and mean.Yes but that photo doesn’t tell the whole story. That same smiling man may have gone home, put his feet up, demand his wife promptly serve him a cocktail than slap her across the face because it was served too warm. And she would often have no recourse.
Hopefully the man who opens the door for his wife when out and about should then yes treat her the same when they get home.

First, men must look at themselves, and examine how we are treating women currently. May I suggest the recent Gillette commercial as a starting point in this conversation.What are some ways that we can do a better job as catholic men in treating our sisters in Christ?

I prefer “joking in a delightful and charming way” to “trolling.”Very clearly, GhostofBBM is just trolling. Pay him no mind.

Egh… didn’t strike me as particularly charming…
The problem is that there are people who think that’s what Catholics are actually like, so they’d see that and it’d reinforce their stereotypes.

I’d say just follow the Golden Rule and we’d all be doing better – men and women.

I generally don’t have any problems with Catholic men in general, but, this one guy convert I befriended started acting like a boor after I declined to be his girlfriend. I asked him why he isn’t as pleasant to talk to like before, he said he no longer has any reason to be on his best behavior since I supposedly “led him on.” I thought it was obvious we wanted very different things.
So, the point is, men ought to be gentlemen to all women, regardless of romantic interest.

Sometimes people say, “Treat a woman as you would treat your mother.”
I’m not sure that’s good advice in every case.
Treat people equally, love thy neighbor as yourself. But that doesn’t mean you need (or should) use the same mannerisms for both men and women.
It’s very clear, from contemporary science and psychology, that men and women interact with the world in ways different from each other’s.
Let’s say this: interact with as many men and women as possible, and go with what seems to work the best.

My point being, the “olden days” wasn’t necessarily a golden era.

True, there is good and bad in every generation. There is no reason why we can’t keep the good from the past or bring it forward to today.My point being, the “olden days” wasn’t necessarily a golden era.

It’s not something you can do but more of an exchange. You do your part we do ours.
You fight wars that have a purpose (in front of God, it is for you to discern). We in return pray for you and we wait for you to return to us.
You open doors that are heavy for us to open. We return by cooking for you and cleanse your dishes.
