I think ya'll are missing the whole point of giving up your seat for a woman.
It's not that they "don't have legs" or some %$*! like that.
As a man it should go without saying the appreciation you should have for a woman. After all, none of us would be here without one.
Women in our society have done a great amount for us, and have suffered a great deal because of us as men. Is it too much to ask to offer some simple courtesies as a gender to show our appreciation? And if it isn't, then why not?
(and before anybody says, "well, yeah but I'm not showing appreciation for no JO." -- I'm not talking about them.)
I give my seat up for all women except those my age and ones that feel entitled. But it's not because of the whole "we wouldn't be here without them" thing. Hell, they wouldn't be here without us. Women don't birth themselves.
A lot of the chivalrous activities that men do are usually a front (because they tryna get at the chick) and are severely outdated. Why are they outdated? "Independent" women made them that way. Most gender roles and traits are being done away with, which is why it's not uncommon for a woman to be a CEO these days. Some of these women even get offended if you offer em a seat or hold the door open. "I can do it my damn self!" and all that jazz.
This is why I find myself doin it less and less...it's not because I don't honor women or anything...it just feels archaic and these independent-when-convenient (another convo altogether) chicks are killin it off.
Cliffs:
Some younger (high school/college age) women don't seem to like or care about that type of thing.
thank you.
