,,, you're right Muttly. I was brought up with good manners and they had a value attached to them. Now, our culture seems to define a gentleman as one who takes the weight on his elbows.
It's easy to pick someone, male or female, who can identify with manners and they're worthy of such courtesy. Womyn are easy to profile and if my path crosses with their path, they're treated as equals - very easy.
