Ladies and Gentlemen...

In the last few months, I have witnessed the following;

-A wife stating that she wishes that her husband would open the door for her more often, to which he replies, "Women fought for equal rights, and you still want us to open the door?"
-An elderly women walking across a parking lot on her way to an entrance of a grocery store. A blizzard is beating against her frail body as she struggles to remain standing against the wind. A group of young men pull up in a truck with music blaring so loudly that it is shaking the concrete. They do not slow down, but they do allow the women to stop in her tracks, and wait for them to drive in front of her and stop at the crosswalk. Two young men in the back seat get out and enter the store. They park their truck 10 feet from where they stopped in the first place and the women is now allowed to enter the store.
-A girl wiping her "Swoob" on her friend's face as a joke as they come out of a very hot club where they have been dancing for the past 5 hours. Her friend has now found out that "swoob" is another word for disgusting boob sweat.
-A women announcing that she is freezing so of course her boyfriend tries to help...he sits on his girlfriend's lap and rips one on her legs. "Now your a bit warmer!!" he screams in a clever some delight and laughs.
-A girlfriend starving herself, because her boyfriend will not love her if she is not a size 4.
-A guy describing a party as a "Butter Face" party. I stand invisible behind them as he explains to his gang of friends that a "Butter Face" party stands for a party where the ladies are all hot, but her face. "Good thing it's dark in here!" one of the gang boys adds with a scoff.
-A girl burping so loud that she self exclaims a 10.0 score. (This one was at a nice restaurant, where she was sitting across the table from who I'm assuming was her Mother.)

What happened to chivalry?

What happened to manners?

What happened to Femininity?

Where did the love go?

Where are the moments that are worth living for?



Times have changed and expectancies have been lowered.

Are we expected to put up with verbal abuse?

Should we waste ourselves because of lust?

Should we feel compatible with someone out of our beliefs?

Is it OK to be treated as a lesser sex?

Should we put up with less than we deserve?


What is going on here people?? I am thoroughly confused on our roles as Men and Women. I wish we could bring some of our traditions back to a more gentle time.
