Thoughts on modern-day chivalry.....

[D. Morgan]

@blakfyahking, it was broad and general statement first of all. Some people live in big cities and a car isnt necessarily needed as a mode of transportation due to congestion. Therefore, public transportation is the no brainer smart guy. So, like i said, the gesture of a MAN giving up his seat to allow a WOMAN to sit down is what should be done. Now, a broad demanding a seat just because....is a different story. But treat women as they deserve.

How you come to the conclusion that its "what should be done"?

How do women "deserve" to be treated?

 

[b'mer...]

BRUH!!!! Live your life according to how see fit. There needs to be no dialogue as of how a WOMAN should be treated.

So, I had a female "friend" on FB post this:

"It's sad that of the three people who offered me their seats on the train, all three were older women (over 50). Men, if you are riding public transportation, you should be ashamed of yourself if you are sitting while women are standing. You should be doubly ashamed of yourself if any woman standing is visibly pregnant or almost retirement age."

Thoughts?

Well, according to @desertrain10 .....now known as @Madame_CJSkywalker .......

I think the main point most of us here is saying is that we DO have manners, and more often than not, most of us here don't have problem being chivalrous, most notably to females that are pregnant or physically disabled.

OUR issue lies where females think that this concept should be an automatic given to any female, and that doesn't fly. Especially in situations where the gesture would almost never be returned, and the hypocrisy is allowed to go unchecked.

They say they wanted equality well here you go

THIS. Most of them seem to forget - or willfully ignore - that equality means equal rights AND equal responsibilities.

I am courteous to most people, if I see you heading for the door, I'll hold it open, man or woman tho you don't say thank you expect to be called an ignorant bastard that hopefully gets hit with the next door.

I'm with it all day, to an extent

I'll hold doors and give up seats and all that but I'll switch real quick when I notice you aint the least bit appreciative

held the door for this girl (very young and able) just the other day in TN and she took aaalll day gettin to it, and didnt say a word....I let it go right when she got in the path, chuckled and said my bad

It must be a Tennessee thing because it seem like damn near every young chick does it.

Nah don't put that on Tennessee.... maybe a young folks thing

 

[banginscrew901]

You stroll thru Memphis? Been saying when you roll thru bring me a gallon of that lean.

shit we rode thru

I aint ridin up 40 wit no damn gallon tho I aint gone lie to ya bruh bruh lol

idk why you actin like it aint right there in the city....for lower than here

Yea shit here be laced.... knew you had the plug... I wasn't gone run on the plug

So give up our seats to old women but its cool for old men to stand?

Old men stay losing b

I'm even guilty of it 'cause I won't even look at old men panhandling in corners but I always give money to old women begging on the streets.

Sorry grandpa

I feel like that's the child's father issue not the community....I couldn't have mines riding the subway

lol

you shouldn't feel obligated, but it would be nice of you

not everyone is in the position to not have to ride the bus

gawd forbid a person is laid off from work or car goes down unexpectedly

shiddd I would rather ride the subway in nyc or most major cities than drive even if I had a car

Then why shame some men for not practicing chivalry?

It would be nice if i did but would it be mean if I didn't?

2 people can't put together money for a car ride?

If you live anywhere in the south where you need a car and it breaks down....you just ain't gonna make it that day, re-schedule the appointment.....

I agree with you about driving in cities, I was born and raised for most of my life in ny and didn't get my license until I came to Va ...it's actually a privilege to own cars in cities as the cost of owning and maintaining a car on top of them outrageous parking tickets(impossible to find legal parking in a lot of areas) easily becomes more of a hassle than convenience

I don't condone the shaming of men for not practicing chivalry

I would look side ways at anyone who would not give up their seat for a visibly pregnant person

And yes, sometimes 2 people can't put together money for a car ride... and not every pregnant woman has their child's father to depend on doesn't mean she doesn't deserve a small act of kindness lol

In the words of the wise quavo

"Late to the game got your seats stole"

How do you not condone shaming then in the next breathe "look at them sideways"

That's passive aggressive shaming at the least...some stares stay with you for life especially if the person has a unique face

You can get cars with nothing down ...if a woman doesn't have her child's father then its a different story

Lol

I dont expect or want men to be chivalrous....

just kind, considerate ...there's difference

And that goes for women too like i said

I observe or hear about an able bodied person not giving up there seat for a child, old person, disabled person, visibly pregnant woman .... naturally the first thing that pops in my head is that person is being a bit of an asshole

Own it bruh

I been told i can be an asshole at times to so...

And what do u mean its a diff story? So are you going to first investigate whether the father of the child is in her life before you make ur final decision?

And nigga it is not easy and expensive as hell to get a ride or and car plus insurance on the fly when u have a job to get to daily ...specifically if your credit isnt up to par and or you living pay check to pay check. Nor is it very smart when there is public transportation available

 

[Crude_]

A lot of the ladies think having a vagina grants them preferential treatment. The short answer is nah....

If you're visibly pregnant, physically disabled, mentally handicapped, or elderly yes I believe other people should act in tact and be courteous to you.

Some random able bodied woman better keep it moving and realize you aren't owed anything.

I think it's polite to open doors and be courteous for the ladies; however, some ladies feel like they're entitled to it and some are down right obnoxious with their lack of gratitude. If you didn't have the forethought to show up in a prompt manner and you don't fit in one of the abovementioned categories you don't necessarily deserve my seat. Dont use some societal misconception to try to guilt shame me into random acts of courtesy for you.

Yeah, it's her.

Apparently she must've cleared her cache or lost/forgot her password or something.
