Hey everyone,

There have been a few topics at Susan's that have made reference to the male privilege.  I would just like to comment on my first experience with the female privilege.

Now I would just like to ask all feminists to take their left hand and carefully remove the gun from it's holster and kick it towards me...

Today at Tim Horton's Coffee, a gentleman opened both doors for me to enter, and then another gave up their spot for me in line.  Chivalry is not quite dead i guess, and to tell you the truth, it felt really nice.

Heck it was just a gay boy being nice 

My Sis Stephanie Craxford..........Female Privilege?

Remeber we live in 2005...I know what you are saying...and 'politeness' is still here....but most young women do not care about that at all. They know their value and don't let any man tell them what it is. Real 'chiveraly" is apreciating that.

I do agree politeness is very cool.....but our culture is changing and that is old fashioned....I know I'm 47.

Female privlage? What is that now-a-days? To be srong? dedicated? sure? to be respected? to have value?

We tg...exspecially us older ones know that things change, and that our 'old' values and persceptins don't quite apply to those younger than us. Except.....love of life.

Female Privilege? It is so because that is the real reason to life.....to successfully procreate. As successfull humans...we protect the women and children.

So we can procreate.

Anyhow....I can relate to being treated with politness as woman....

I know that politeness is becoming rarer but this is probably because rudeness toward attempts at politeness leave us with a sour taste.

For me I think I will stay the same and put up with rudenss toward my attempts to be polite.

The question I guess is whycan't people just smile and acknowledge an act of politeness as an act of kindness with no strings attached?
