I've seen girls look appalled when their boyfriend wanted to pay for the movie tickets. I've seen men get pushed aside when they tried to open the door for a woman. They get ridiculed by today's media when they try to help a woman do anything. "Women today are self sufficient!" Is the media cry today. A man tries to do something for a woman, he is called a chauvinist, no matter how full her hands are. Pretty idiotic if you ask me.

I agree, it is so well written. It is so sad how simple manners have gone down the drain. At times, I tend to find myself following suit because I feel like "why am I the only one doing this?". I posted about "elevator etiquette" once because I was annoyed at the behaviour I witnessed. What a great post! I agree, it is so well written.

I mean, this look like a sample essay, which is actually really nice to read, since the kind of texts I've been familiar with (apart from blogs) were essays :P Your point is very clear, and I totally agree with it..regarding the holding of the door thing...really, I think that's something stupid they said..I mean...you were acting like gentlemen after all.
