I was thinking today about how much the modern world lacks chivalry, and why that is. The fact is that men decided to stop being gentlemen when women decided that they could do anything they wanted to by themselves. I believe that women are very capable, and have much understanding even when it comes to physical work, however, there are just some things that a man should offer to do.
The problem here now, is that men don't think that women want them to do it! Men enjoy being challenged, because they are men, so why don't we Ladies challenge them to be Gentlemen? You would be amazed at how quickly they can change if we only give them the chance. This does not mean, however that we can nag and make fun of them when they are not on their best behavior. What it does mean is that if there is something heavy, we politely ask them to lift it for us. As women, we do have influence, and if we will call them up to a higher standard, they will meet us there.
