More on Manners… Using your manners and being polite is not something quaint for a past time. It is being respectful of every person you have contact with. Chivalry is not dead, it’s just badly wounded. Do not make it worse. There is always a “pecking order” or “alpha dog”. This was never intended to subjugate anyone, it lessened chaos and created order. When people look at Chivalry and Etiquette and want to abolish them, it is certain they don’t understand them. Chivalry doesn’t just apply to male/female relationships. Man/Woman, Adult/Child, Firm/Infirm, the “stronger” one looks out for “weaker”. If you start applying manners to all interactions with others, you will be thought of as a kind and generous person. Be a Gentleman/Lady! “No one ever taught me” is NOT an excuse. If you can read (and you wouldn’t be reading this is you couldn’t) then you can research manners and learn them. Manners help make those around you more comfortable. PLEASE, respect others -- 'be polite' & 'use your manners'.
