Do you respect yourself to defend the weak? To help people in need (includes opening doors, rescuing kittens etal.)?) To be polite and treat your equals as better than you (especially the fairer sex, who do need protection from bad stuff (biologically)?)<br /><br />That is modern Chivalry. Being true to yourself. That's what God and women respect and admire.<br /><br />And when some bimbo yells at me for opening the door, I just tell them my mother taught me to do it. Usually pisses them off.<br /><br />Brain shutting down now.

Some of today's young men seem to find their supposed manhood in jumping on people when they are down already. That doesn't take courage. Stepping into the fight when the odds are against you is true bravery. Also, you're spot on concerning morality. Without any absolute truths, morality dies.Suldoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07778845367184916684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-42331789000719521252018-01-25T18:31:11.031-08:002018-01-25T18:31:11.031-08:00Just off the top of my head--I'll need to look...Just off the top of my head--I'll need to look more into it--but Bushido, at least the 20th Century version of it, does not deserve equal mention with Western chivalry....Jenkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01773835983034159472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-65889005225258150382018-01-25T15:06:32.479-08:002018-01-25T15:06:32.479-08:00Works for me, Joe.
