Chivalry Is Not Dead. It Never Existed
Today, an older gentleman (and I use that term loosely) gave me pause to think about why men hold doors for women.
Is it to be polite? A gesture of respect?
No.
It’s so that a man can stare at a woman’s caboose without being obvious to her.
This morning on the subway, an attractive young woman and an old man were both standing at the door. When the subway came to a halt, the doors opened, and the man gestured for her to go first…
Old Man: After you, young lady.
Young Lady: Wow. Thank you!
She strolled happily through the door.
As she did so, the old man literally stared at her butt. He leaned down and looked at it.
I shook my head.
