Comments on: The Illusive Archtype of the Southern Gentleman http://www.confederatecolonel.com/2010/09/the-illusive-archtype-of-the-southern-gentleman/ The New Life of The Old South Tue, 29 Apr 2014 19:07:17 +0000 hourly 1 By: Stephen Clay McGehee http://www.confederatecolonel.com/2010/09/the-illusive-archtype-of-the-southern-gentleman/comment-page-1/#comment-6091 Thu, 26 May 2011 20:12:41 +0000 http://www.confederatecolonel.com/?p=248#comment-6091 The best response I have ever heard is, when a gentleman held a door open for a woman (not a lady) who scolded him for it, was “I do this because I am a Gentleman. You are free to view that any way you want.”

We need to understand that there will always be women in this debased culture who refuse to allow themselves to be treated as a lady. While we strive to act as gentlemen at all times – whether the other person appears to deserve such treatment or not – how they respond is up to them. We can only control our own behavior, so that is what we do.

One thing to keep in mind though, is that other people watch and take notice. The sour, demanding feminist who is very clearly treated better than she deserves, will quickly be exposed as the hollow person that she is. We can only hope that the experience will prompt some change on her part.

We all strive to be chivalrous toward ladies at all times;
the question is, how shall we conduct ourselves
toward the less than pleasant and overly demanding ones,
that we have to interact with,
for example in our workplaces?
Thank you.
