The new issue of GQ doles out advice on "modern manners." A paragraph from that report:
"Women are equals now. They can fend for themselves. To offer a perfectly healthy woman a seat simply because she is a woman, however well-intentioned, is creepy. At best, she'll think you're from another country; at worst she'll feel old, or overweight enough to be perceived as pregnant."

I would really like to know how many women gave GQ this learned insight. There is never a down-side to good manners, and the standards for such manners have not changed. The occurance of such manners is just more rare. Listen to your mother, Ron.

After 15 years of marriage, I still open my wife's car door. It is just the right thing to do.
A line from several Three Stooges movies seems appropriate:
"When men were men, and women were glad of it."
