Agreed.
But one reaps what one sows with their behavior.
And I do not consider feminism, which is a form of leftism. to be an ideology that believes in polite behavior. Quite the contrary. They have made their gains largely by being hostile, impolite, and demeaning.
But men, once again, are supposed to smile when we are being kicked in the teeth and we are supposed to say, “Thank ma’amsir, may I have another?”
I’ve had enough women sneer at my gentlemanly behavior that I am now hesitant to be gentlemanly to anyone. If I take that chance and someone is rude, they get a very nasty response, far nastier than they would ever have expected. I like that look of shock on their faces. They need to know that politeness begets politeness and rudeness begets rudeness. Middle class men have been the scapegoat and the punching bag long enough.
But the short of the story is that, once again, feminists, which are a form of leftist, want the absolute best of everything and they want everyone to be nice to them and praise them while they are destroying others.
“...that I am now hesitant to be gentlemanly to anyone.”
I experienced November 6, 2012. My gentlemanly-ness got tossed on the “GFY” pile for good.
Strangers get NOTHING from me. An Obama-supporting looking woman with a kid? Open your own f*cking door. Some as*hole in a Prius that wants my parking spot? I shut my directional off and let them pass by. Patience at the grocery store when some jerk-off can’t scan their items at the self check out? Now I say: “People are waiting!” and swear. “What the f**k” has become very popular for me to say.
I’m done. Elections have consequences. As soon as I’d crawl on my ass-cheeks over broken glass to avoid asking a lib for help, don’t ask me for anything either.
A few years ago, I was passing through an office building’s glass front door and held it open for the young woman immediately behind me. It’s just the way I was raised, I guess. She was outraged and told me that she was insulted that I would do such a thing. So, I looked her directly in the eye and slowly, deliberately, shut the door in her face.
“But men, once again, are supposed to smile when we are being kicked in the teeth and we are supposed to say, “Thank ma’amsir, may I have another?””
Only white, Christian men are supposed to smile. For the others, white, Judeo/Christian society is responsible for their plight in life.
The feminists are easy to spot; don’t bother being polite to them. The rest of us you can spot - we smile and are polite, and when you open doors for us, we let you know with a nice ‘thank you.’
I have noticed more and more men opening doors and being chivalrous in other ways; I think it is a sign that feminism is waning, even here in CA, and not a moment too soon. What a disgusting, man-hating way of acting.
I even got whistled at the other day; I thot it was very sweet. Made me laugh.
Those Marxists are ‘always winter, never Christmas’ in oh, so many ways.
My expectations for my own manners are not affected by what others do. My parents never accepted, “But look what he did!!!” as an excuse for not meeting their standards, and neither do I.
If other adults behave inappropriately, I consider that simply being that person is its own punishment.
Consider, too, how they reap in another way.
Marlo Thomas, who as a little girl helped her dad, Danny Thomas, make a fool of himself weekly in Make Room for Daddy. She grew up to be a brassy, unpleasant feminist screedist and perpetual demonstratrix -- both a political demonstratrix, and a living example of the worst that feminazism has to offer.
Now she's old and barren, and married to Phil Donahue (she married him at age 43 -- ooops, honey, I shriveled the kids).
What goes around .....
I usually go out of my way to be gentlemanly. I can’t recalle ever getting a sneer. Sometimes I get ignored, but mostly thanked.
