Its 2012

So because its 2012, then that means respect and chivalry towards women is out the window? Stop saying its 2012 as an excuse to change for anything but the better. What’s happened in yesterday’s world of courtesy, patience, respect and kindness; that caused society to change to today’s world where we get so rude, deaf, dumb and stupid? Please is gone, thank you is headed out the door, sir or ma’am is a thing of the past (unless you’re in the military, or are considered a mere mortaled peasant in a job where your boss feels so superior that they demand that type of respect). People are such savages now a day’s.

I was driving one day and a man cuts me off on the highway. No turn signal, just slowly creeps over into my lane. As I honk my horn at him, he continues to nudge his way in front of me anyway because his lane wasn’t moving fast enough for him, and if he stayed in his lane, then he would’ve had to stop. So I finally decide to back down and be smarter than him, so that I could avoid an accident and prevent one from occurring around any other vehicles near me at the time. And you would think the guy would have the common decent courtesy and respect (after he already disrespected me) to signal a thank you. No… I get… the finger… like I just screwed up his vibe. So of course at this point I’m asking myself the same question from when he first tried to come over into my lane and I honked… Is he deaf or just disrespectful?

People, when we live in a world where the women not only carry, but also open and hold the umbrella, the entire time, for the man, the whole time… Houston we have a problem here. Yes, I am so serious. I was at a nail salon and spa called Sassy’s in DC and as I was leaving I saw a couple walking towards me. The woman was holding the umbrella for both her and her man while walking in the rain. Even worse, he was taking up most of the space underneath the umbrella. Now I admit, yes customs and courtesies between a couple should be shared, however, it is customary, and traditional that chivalry be given to women as it was, back in the day.

Enough is enough ladies and gentlemen! There does come a time when a change needs to be made. As we move further in life and even further into the future, change occurs. Change, is imminent, because change is needed. This of which I speak of today is not one of them. Well, it does need to change, but only backwards to revert back to the way it was, as it should never have changed in the first place. Men, it is necessary to treat the women of today with the utmost respect and love. It isn’t a hard thing to do, and it is not a lot to ask. I know it may seem like a big risk, as some women can really demand too much and take advantage of your kindness to benefit herself by expanding her ego (another blog, another time), but love is a risk, and if you want to fall in love and ultimately become happy, then it’s a risk that you’re going to have to take. Regardless, you should always continue to be patient, kind, loving, respectful, and follow the true traditions of love and relationships, like chivalry.
