Opening the door is nice..I'll open the door for you too next time. Young men need to learn that opening the door isn't all there is to it (nor would I want it to be the only form respect). Also, when a man is nice to you, he shouldn't expect any sexual favors just because he was "nice." That's disrespect. No one owes you anything for be nice except a thank you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8565616721788115208.post-14828791792673469492008-06-13T16:18:00.000-07:002008-06-13T16:18:00.000-07:00The report does not cover the point of view from m...The report does not cover the point of view from men who grew up with bad experiences after approaching women.

As a middle school teacher, I see disrespect amongst my students with regard to teachers and each other on a daily basis. But can I really be upset with them when I hear adults in public area converse with expletives between each phrase for everyone to hear? <BR/><BR/>-CatherynAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8565616721788115208.post-11900310075540617832008-06-13T16:11:00.001-07:002008-06-13T16:11:00.001-07:00Chivalry is based on an assumption that a woman ne...Chivalry is based on an assumption that a woman needs a man to do things for her. He needs to open her door, he needs to push in her chair, he needs to paythe check. It isn't necessary anymore because it became too much like the woman was not allowed to do these things. The old idea of chivalry was almost as disrespectful as yelling "Can I holla atcha!"<BR/><BR/>-Dayn S.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8565616721788115208.post-5529033830015402142008-06-13T16:10:00.000-07:002008-06-13T16:10:00.000-07:00...chivalry is dead because it doesn't work.

I agree with the teacher that parents need to teach their sons and daughters about chivalry. I show chivalry by opening the car door for my fiancé when she gets in the car and when she steps out. <BR/><BR/>-Victor <BR/>San Antonio, Tx.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8565616721788115208.post-29566580468268491222008-06-13T16:03:00.001-07:002008-06-13T16:03:00.001-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8565616721788115208.post-3339935590295036812008-06-13T16:03:00.000-07:002008-06-13T16:03:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8565616721788115208.post-43172671720757162482008-05-30T19:40:00.000-07:002008-05-30T19:40:00.000-07:00i think shes totally right.the amount of disrespec...i think shes totally right.<BR/>the amount of disrespect in my generations society is ridiculous.<BR/>sometimes i think im the only gentalmen leftAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8565616721788115208.post-35555992228655702712008-05-30T16:57:00.000-07:002008-05-30T16:57:00.000-07:00I love this!I love this!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8565616721788115208.post-75376668245227258332008-05-30T16:42:00.000-07:002008-05-30T16:42:00.000-07:00I hate to sound like an old man, but I agree with ...I hate to sound like an old man, but I agree with you, young people these days have no respect for each other.
