IIRC, the girls/women of the 60's started wearing mini-skirts, short shorts, and bikinis. The feminists agreed that women should be able to flaunt their sexuality and discard the prudish mores of 50's dresses and behavior. It wasn't until the 70's, the feminists started their crusade that women can have it all. Now we have girls/women behave like stupid frat boys and the feminists think that is good. Think movies like Spring Break or any other anything goes chick flick. I've refused to buy into all that and still open the door for a woman. I'm a gentleman until the day I die.
BTW, NOW has been completely discredited and pretty much defunct since they say nothing about the horrible treatment of females in Islamic countries or elsewhere like Mexico. They are open-border advocates but never mention all the rapes that go on from the coyotes. When is the last time you heard a rep from NOW condemn the horrific action of gentital mutilation that occurs almost every day around the World? Crickets.
The “male chauvinist pig” chant started in the 60’s with the hippies and the women’s libbers. It was all downhill from there.
Men need to stand up to this b/s by being, as you have said, gentlemen and also, the head of the woman.
