Women and Doors

Many people now have conflicting issues with how to treat women. Do women really enjoy having the door held open for them? Do they expect it? Or do they resent the fact that once again, a man is treating them different?

Listen up women, I don't care if you are the CEO of the worlds largest corporation, or a waitress(nothing against either one of course) if you are near me when I am going through the door, I am going to pause, hold it open, and let you go first. No, I have not suddenly developed physic powers and realize I could brown nose you in your powerful profession, nor do I feel pity for you, nor do I want to sleep with you. I was simply raised to respect women and hold the door open for them.

Its not a sign of not believing you can open the door yourself. Its a sign of respecting that you are a woman. It's called courtesy. Something both men and women used to have. Men used to be courteous enough to open the door, and women used to be courteous enough to accept it with grace and a smile.

So men and women, straighten up and respect each other. If somebody of the opposite sex does something nice for you, smile and thank them, because they took the time to do it.

Being a Man

Nowdays, being a man is hard. We are expected to be so many things previously held dear to the female gender. At some point in the past 10 years, men became more feminine, doing more feminine activities, and woman became more manly.

Now before feminist and others get all over me, I am all for equality in the home and work place, but there are some things women are better suited for then men, and vice versus.

Men have always been providers, hunters, fixers, and basically rugged. Go up to the average man you know and ask them if they can shoot a rifle, clean a dear, plow a field, plant crops, or even track a muddy bear across a clean white floor. Odds are they can't. And while most of this comes up rarely, its still a sign of men becoming soft and complacent in their life. The most activity they get is walking to the coffee machine and back again. The only hunting they do is for women, and even then they now expect women to make the first move.

Go look at a mans appearance. Most are clean shaven, perfect nails, a slight paunch in the middle, saggy man boobs, no ass, and close cut hair. And women, if this is what you want, by all means go for it. However know this is an affront to our very manhood. Women in the south, you know who I am talking to, how do you want your man? Do you want to be confident that he will take care of you, or are you worried if push comes to shove you have to be the man? Do you want him picking you up in a jeep for a day of playing in the mountains, a cooler, and you bring the bag lunch? Or do you want him picking you up in a car, taking you to the mall and talking to you like your girlfriends?

Men, its time to be men, without alienating women.
