".....chivalry is dead and women killed it."

Wooooweeeee! You ain't tellin' me nuttin' new Loser! **chuckles** I'm shakin' my head and grinnin'. I'm also wondering where in the hell is Deltona!??? Jeeze. Del.....if I didn't know better, I'd think you were the last one on the internet that still believes in it.

Lady Sage, you are a peach darlin'. Please keep grinning. You are a breath of fresh air and I always enjoy your posts. I think you have the concept too. Although, I almost understand the hostility. I think because if you have never experienced chivalry, or the acts of a gentlemen just wanting to be a gentlemen, then I can understand why some women feel threatened by it. Especially if they are very independent.

The boss and my brothers (family, classmates, close friends), would tell you that I am a far cry to a helpless female. I'm grinning because if anyone needed to have some "lady" airs about her it was me! LOL! Being a tomboy, was not a simple task for my mother. When she started working, that's when she noticed a big change in me and mentioned this to my father. Soon I was taken out of the field/shop and most of what my brothers and father was doing and put into the kitchen. Yep, the kitchen guys!

My mother never had this talk with me. My father was the one to put his hand on my shoulder and said, "Your mother thinks you need to .......well, be brushed up some." I remember looking at him and he laughed at my look. I'm sure I was totally confused by the terms "needing brushing up".

He went on to say that I must see the female side of the world. I needed to learn to cook and be more of a lady. I grumbled for awhile until my father came to a compromise and said that it wouldn't hurt for my brothers to learn to operate the stove too. Hehehe..........but they aren't ashamed of it either, to my chagrin!

I was a late bloomer. I'm always late blooming in almost anything it seems! LOL! But, I do remember feeling rebelious when boys did notice me. One thing back then, they would tease you unmercifully! Especially if they knew you your whole life.

But when I finally knew when I was different or was being paid attention to differently by boys/men, it was a different kind of feeling. That's when I blossomed into femininity. Now, that is not something I'm ashamed of. Although for many years of my youth I wished I was a boy/man, I didn't at that moment in time. And now I fast forward to today and I'm suppose to be a woman who thinks "just because she has a vagina" she shouldn't be treated differently? All my life women----no wait----ladies and gentlemen-- are a thing that is of the past? Some of you almost make it sound like we should all wear the same clothing, cut off our hair, and look all alike. HOW TRULY BORING! Women, no matter what line of work, race, or sexuality you are, should be PROUD you are women.

There shouldn't be a reason for this kind of hositilty. Especially to women and gentlemen that only have expressed their true thoughts. They are who they are. You are who you are. I'm truly surprised that such hostilty can become of just a word as chivalry. How truly odd.

For heaven sakes.........keep me out of the political threads PLEASE!

Jeeze.
