When a man opens or holds a door open for a woman, shouldn't she say thank you? I am always a little offended by the woman who just steps through the door like it's my job. What do you think?

theC said:

I am with you... I agree 1000%

I thank the boys... but those boys are rare to find these days.



I thank the girls, too. I even thank my boyfriend. Hell, I'm just grateful all over the place.

theC said:

I have never not said 'thank you' when anyone--man or woman--does something considerate like that. But then again, I had good home training!

I say the next time she walks through the door without some gratitude, grab her by the back of the head, yank her back through the doorway and ask, "Don't you have something you'd like to say?"

Natsume said:

Exactly! I can't tell you the number of times I've been traveling or carrying heavy boxes or luggage and men will just do their thang, ignoring me. Maybe I need some plastic surgery or something?

theC said:

I hear you, theC...but usually folk say "thanks" to me.

When a man holds a door open for me I always say thank you, some women are just plain rude.

theC said:

Yep! Then there are the ones who go through the door,after you've held for someone else, and don't say anything either.

twenty five minutes of lovin' in the pooper shoot and I bet she'll never forget again.

i thank whoever holds it open, regardless. i wuz brought up that way.

It happens. It doesn't bother me though when people don't thank me.

Maybe these people have not had good 'home training' as you, Dansa, and I had.

:LOL: I may try this :LOL:

Okay wait this is the WORST. I bet Dansa will be able to agree with me as she is a Metro friendly person.

I HATE it when I am getting off of the bus in the rear entrance and somebody will open the doors for themselves and not even hold them open for ME to grab while I'm getting off. They will let go and the doors will just slam in my face. Boys and girls do that shit all the time.

Terrible.

Natsume said:

You probably need plastic surgery too.

theC said:

This and fucking a woman up the ass (as dumbass suggested) are your remedies? Why is it that women don't suggest such violent things when men are rude?

(Yes, I realize it was a joke, but it's amazing how sexually violent some of the imagery is when men talk about being angry with women)

Thank you, sistah!

AnotherLover2 said:

It was just a joke. Lighten up. What was sexually violent about this? What am i missing?

She and I both recognized it was a joke (hence the "Yes I realize it was a joke" comment).

And I fail to see how you don't think fucking someone up the ass isn't violent.

Natsume said:

I have one question, WHERE THE PHUCK DID I SAY THIS?
I must really be losing it in my old age. Chew me out for what I said, not what someone interjects into my thread.

This is just one example out of zillions each day, C, where I observe men reacting (or threatening to react) to what they don't like about a woman in a violent (often sexually violent) way.

It's not about you, per se, just that you and a couple other guys here reverted to that type of thinking (without even thinking, probably), and you find it humorous. I think it's weird that women don't talk about messing up men physically when they complain about them...

AnotherLover2 said:

OK Anotherlover2 i'm not in the arguing mood. If anybody else is offended by my obvious jokes let me know and i will stop. I joke about myself, my kids, everything and you jump on me for this? Something you know is a joke?

theC said:

I all reality it bothers me if someone opens a door or holds it open for me...I dunno makes me feel kinda helpless. It is my damn job to open my own door. I know men do this to be nice and such...I dunno in some weird way it just bothers me...so I prefer to do it myself. Yes I am by the way.

theC said:

Hey! It wasn't you that I was targeting. No one said you said anything wrong! Two other guys made some comments, and you laughed, and I was trying to bring it to everyone's attention that men often use violent imagery when they're mad at women.
