To assume that a photo hides abuse is just kindof strange.
 
That made me laugh. It is a good idea. Today stockings are considered pants at least at the college where I work. But anyway… nothing can be done about this trend.

Most men I know would look at me really weird if I opened and closed the car door for them. I think I will keep doing it for women.

I open doors all the time, if I’m first out of the car. Men or women, doesn’t matter. They all, especially older folks who might not be so mobile, seem to appreciate it.

For me, just be polite. Chivalry and courtesy are always welcome. Be honorable and respectful in your conversations around me and yes, I don’t mind at all that you hold the door open, why thank you very much! I can’t tell you the times college boys, and girls, have let it slam in my face as I tried to catch it when they see me behind it. I keep my courtesies whether people like it or not.

I have a 1971 Eldorado convertible. I’ve been told that there 71/72 Eldorado hood is the longest Cadillac ever built.

Anyway, one day working on the car and lifting it, it occurred to me that with the amount of effort it takes at my see (this 6’2") that, “wait a minute . . . women were driving on a regular basis by then. How could they have sold this to them?”

And then it occurred to me . . . it was before self-serve at the gas station. . . .🤣😜😱
 
Full, or “mini”? (checking oil, water, air, etc. or just filing the tank?)

I know that pumping your own is also illegal WA or OR, but I forget which.

And there are still a couple of full serve stations across town here in Vegas.
 
Ponder Saint Joseph’s ways with our Holy Mother Mary.
Both men and women need to be virtuous again; this is lost today.
Both men and women are not objects, but we are made in the image of God, purity, chastity, love for others that builds relationships, in courting, dating, friendship, marriage.
Invoke the Holy Spirit to receive the gifts and fruits to love one another more, even when something is not to our liking, deal with things more respectfully, accepting, trusting, to carefully consider we are all imperfect. Ask for God’s blessings for everyone you meet. No matter single or married, whatever the situation, our mission is to lead souls to Jesus.
 
Chivalry in the old days was only displayed towards women of noble birth. Peasant women were treated like dirt by the nobility.

I am neither an aristocrat nor a princess so I don’t expect chivalry.

I don’t either. I honestly don’t think more or less of a man if he doesn’t open a door for me. It’s not really a thing in Asia too (or at least, within my culture), so the concept comes off a little weird to me at times.

Kind of makes it sound like chivalry is something only for the very ancient days. I am in my late 50’s and I remember when chivalry was important and you can still see chivalry today. It doesn’t have to represent knights and princesses. Just means being courteous and respectful.

Today I sometimes think it also depends on how we women act or respond to chivalry. As I said earlier it is important to say thank you when a man demonstrates courtesy.

It goes both ways. If I hold the door for a man, I assume he’ll also say thank you.
 
Chivalry is being courteous. Was your post in jest? I’m afraid of the answer I may not check back for it. Of all the ridiculous things to say.
