I struggle with aspects as well so this is no assault SM, but it does befuddle me at times as to how we attack others, oblivious to the implications of what we ourselves do and say everyday. I open doors for women and let them sit if I'm standing, but am always aware of what I'm ultimately suggesting and would think they were right if they did bollock me for being a rude arse.

I understand the concept you are arguing mate and I have been conflicted with this on occasion too.

The way I see it now is it's just good manners and noble for me to open doors for women or let them have your seat on a bus. Ok you might get the odd woman have a go and call you a chauvinist (never happened to me personally) but I think the vast majority of women will see it for what it is which is good decorum and virtue. Don't you ever get women tell you that not enough men are like this nowadays?

I personally have no problem with the rule of never hitting a woman mostly for the reasons Niamh has elegantly put forward. We may strive for equality between the sexes and that's great but ultimately there will still be physical discrepancies between the genders and that's the way I look at it now mate.

Women, elderly, very young kids, people with lots of shopping. Just seemed the right thing to do.

Thanks fair maiden

There was this one time I was going to college and I had a bad morning and I didn't get up near the back, leaving this elderly woman to stand for the remainder of the journey. Felt guilty all day, I probably just did it so i didn't need to feel bad

"strong white knight" - there's a whole new thread! Am reading "blink" by macolm gladwell and it has me all obsessed with the power of language and its implications. Always food for thought on this forum. Need Big Brother all year round!
