To us old fashioned buggers, I find it incomprehendable!
It's just disrespecting the fairer sex...
A lady was on the ABC radio not long ago saying that she was on a tram coming home from work one day. The tram was standing room, an old lady got on and was standing in the isle. A young boy about 8 instinctively started to get up when his father sitting next to him told him to "sit down, I've paid for your seat"
It's people like this who are a true waste of oxygen...

Hot young women with guys playing on their phones next to them?!
What's wrong with these guys?! OH.. maybe they're the brothers.... the "friend-zoned" guys... the ones who have no chance of boning those hot young women... so why bother?

I know it doesn't make sense ....
That's how I was brought up in ye olde days.
Think of it as an illogical belief thing.
And no-one needs to be stoned or burned!

It makes sense enough.
Some people are softer and more nurturing. Some people are stronger and more protective.
It's not always women being "the fairer sex", but it's all good.

I share the same view as you, call me old fashioned but I like being like this. My mother taught me to be a gentleman to the ladies, they didn't appreciate it much when I was a teen (because those actions are seen as old fashioned and teens like modern stuff), but now it sure works with my girlfriend, she loves it.  stick to your values

I'm sure that's true for some. There have other though where I know quite certainly it was there boyfriends as the town I live in isn't big.

I beg to disagree, I think every woman can be beautiful. Even if its not in the conventional way. Think of it like flowers, some are sweet and others are deadly and they are all different shapes, sizes and colors. But everyone of them is beautiful even if you don't know that till you see them.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

All the time I see these beautiful young women drive up, pump their own gas and pay for it. The whole time their boyfriends will sitting in the front seat playing on his phone or something. They could at least have the decency to pump it for her while she paid inside, cause I understand there could other circumstances, like maybe she has a better job. But still to sit on your ass and not even offer to help while she drives around? Sorry for ranting. I don't think it's an issue really. It would probably depend on the circumstances. Is it an abusive relationship, or are the young ladies simply showing that they're capable of handling something that simple instead of pretending that cars are too complicated for their delicate female brains?
Anyway, I must admit that I read the post as a series of sexual metaphors, and now I need a cold shower.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

What? At what point in my post did I say that some women are not beautiful?
Usually, when someone says the fairer sex, they mean softer and more gentle (read weaker and in need of protection). Women cannot be generalized into such a category because 1) most of the time we only appear to be softer and more gentle, and 2) many women are actually the strong protective type as many men are timid and gentle and looking for a strong woman to protect them. (Don't look here  picture me as a 1950's housewife with a kinky side)
Anyways, I wasn't talking about beauty at all.

I was trying to stay out of this one and then I got masochistic and read it. I really don't care who pumps the gas as long as the arrangement makes sense to the people pulling up at the pumps.
In Oregon, we don't get to pump our own gas so it's not an issue. But we both, and now our daughter too, check the fluids, and clean the windows. Vacationing in other states you might as well toss a coin when you see us pull up to the pumps. Who pumps usually has more to do with who really needs to get to the potty than anything else. When I'm dressed to the nines, he does all the boy stuff.
My step-father and mother used to annoy the hell out of me because they took the fact that I do most of the repair and renovation work around the house as some kind of failing on my husband's part. The fact that I like doing it and he doesn't didn't seem to resonate. I drag him into the project when I need some muscle. He also runs and gets stuff. They've gotten over it.
It works for us. And it really isn't anyone elses business.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
