    Let me preface this with "I am a gentlemen" I was brought up by a single mom who worked twice as hard and was twice as smart as any man she ever met, but got paid half as much. Feminism is about women rights, there isn't movement such as this (that I know of) that represents the specific interest of men.

    Now I never said being a gentleman strips man of his masculinity what I said was there has been a growing movement over the years to strip men of their masculinity. By that, I did not intend to imply that feminism is the sole cause for this. I'm not sure what the main cause is, perhaps its the "political correctness" movement. The stripped-masculinity movement was already happening when I was born, perhaps someone older than me knows when it started to happen.

    Now some folks who know me might argue that I'm more of a feminist than the average women, I have to be, I have to ensure that all our airmen are given the same opportunities to excel at their jobs (regardless if it's a male-dominated career field).
    I'm not sure how or why this topic got so out of the ballpark. I was only pointing out gentlemen traits that the average woman admires and appreciates.
    I believe a lot of men and women on this thread admire and respect you, myself included. It was a bit offensive and disheartening for you to refer to a gentleman as a va-jay-jay.

    Sorry but I couldn't disagree more I read the article too, and noticed subtle hints of man-bashing. That was not an article about a being a gentlemen, that was an article about how to be a submissive man. We will just have to agree to disagree, and if you are offended, then you should forgive me, not because you have to, but because you love me and accept me for my flaws.

    In-turn, I will agree to forgive you for your illogical womanly thought patterns and agree to take out the trash, mow the lawn, and wash your car.

    Women don't want a submissive man. I'm sorry but I didn't get that from the article. Men and women have different needs and all too many men overlook the importance as well as the reward of being a gentleman. Most men that treat their woman like a princess will surely be made to feel like a king.

    Now there are some women that can't appreciate a good man just like there surely are men that can't appreciate a good woman. I'm not referring to those!

    Thanks but I'll pass on the subservient offer. I can take out the trash, mow the lawn, and wash my own car. I don't need a man for that. But I can appreciate a man that does those things simply because he loves me and understands the importance of contributing to the family and not because I'm a woman who needs to be forgiven for her illogical thought patterns.

    JP, you miss the point. So I'll explain it to you. If the lady unlocks the door for the gentleman, then she's probably a keeper. If not, she's thinks only of herself and is not worthy of a second date. Driving a jalopy has nothing to do with it!

    Lol. I didn't miss the point at all. I was just ribbing you. I totally agree with you. If she only thinks of herself and is not considerate of you, dump her!

    therein lies the danger. non-subservient and just take her? not a gentleman. too subservient? not man enough. women are fickle beasts, they like both at different times, it is hard to find middle ground.

    now if they could just ditch the illogical thought patterns...

    and wash the car in a tank top.

    “Think how the years go by, Charlie Brown ... think of the regrets you’ll have if you never risk anything ...”

    The history of Lucy’s pulling the football away from Charlie Brown in Peanuts.
