[NSC] Ladies First - Sexist Slur??

[maffew]

Personally I think women should be treated totally equally and I meant totally in everything.I figure it will last 5 minutes before they start whining.

I think they should be getting more banning orders and arrested for stepping foot in Croydon in the fairness of equality

It's just a bit of respect.Obviously if the dad said no it wouldn;t make any difference.Personally I consider it not so much sexist but very old fashioned.

But it's an old fashioned ritual from an age where women were commodities. Not a good nod to the past. I didn't know people still did it.

You've not been dumped this week, have you ?

To hold the door open, step aside and say Ladies first is just making a tit of yourself.

Go through the door in the order you get there, hold it open until the person, male or female, can hold it themselves, then walk away! simples.

Are you for real? Who in their right mind would dump this?!

 

[AmexRuislip]

That's incredibly bad manners. I always say thank you. Feminism and sexism can take a running jump.

So Mr Thunderbolt, doesn't doff his robe, whenever you're about to step in a puddle, as you leave the Gilded Truffle restaurant

I’m 42 so tend to spend a lot of time in lifts

Corrected for you

The problem is that good behaviours programmed into us older folk are now considered to be bad behaviours, and vice versa. It's not always easy to remember!

Yet again another example of some pointless argument instigated by another group of spineless humans actively looking to be “offended” by absolutely fvcking anything they possibly can be in the pursuit of their crusade...!

Very much this.

There are a large number of them who fail to realise their position in society and finish ahead of me in Parkrun every week. I'm sick of this disrespectful attack on us gentlemen. Next they'll be opening doors for us.

There is no Mr Thunder Bolt. My husband posts on NSC with his own username!

He does walk on the outside of the pavement, & is very well mannered.

Yes it is sexist.....to men. Why should women get to go first? *openinganecanofworms*

Going on the tone of the posts on this thread there is only one person arguing and getting offended in the pursuit of their crusade.

Treating everybody equally and with good manners, you chaps might be on to something. Perhaps the politically correct nightmare isn't so hard to navigate after all.
