One of the worst things about so-called women's "liberation" is that many women have become as vulgar as men.
You and I are both old enough to remember when women (a few outliers excepted) never used foul language, and men only did in the company of other men....NEVER with women around. Now, especially in the younger generations, no one thinks a thing about it when a female swears like a longshoreman.
Of course, the days of polite conversation are long gone and our culture has gone into the literal sewer (thanks to leftists), but there are at least a few of us who will fight tooth and nail to keep whatever remains of civil discourse alive.
It may be a losing battle, but in the time the Lord gives me on this earth, I'm not backing down.
@musiclady It is funny how that works...
I too am old enough to remember, and was in fact raised that way. Deference to the weaker sex is a matter of honor, lending respect.
But what of honor, when it is no longer recognized as currency? Honor between men is a wholly different thing. Honor toward women is an artificial mode, useful only in the realm of polite society. A single man is seldom accepted therein - He is either there as an apprentice or agent of another man, or he is there because he has a woman. By its nature, polite society does not trust an unattached male, and largely denies access, even if he comes from polite stock, and especially so in this day and age.
A man in himself is nothing but a creature of merit and competition. He has no innate need for polite society, or society at all ~ I can function quite well on the other side of the tracks, or over the next range, deep in wilderness where women never go... The only thing tying me to society is the love and comfort of a woman, and nothing else.
What women need to know, both individually and in the aggregate, is that polite society is wholly a construct built by men for women - A sheltered environment for women that tends exclusively to their needs, wherein a man participates only because an honest woman desires him to. Early on, that is the desire of his familial matriarchy - but he won't stay there on that account for long. It is only for the love of a woman that he remains thus encumbered.
A woman really only does two things for a man, without which, he can function well, albeit imperfectly - She can see his heart, and she reminds him of his honor. That is the benefit toward man in the whole of polite society. Those are not small things, but they are things he does not require, and must be shown in order to experience the effective improvement... The impact upon his existence.
He does it for a woman. Period.
If women scoff at honor, if women scold attempts toward genteel manners, if young women are taught to use their visceral power over men (their bodies) to get their way, from a man's perspective, there is no need for polite society at all.
So do not blame men for the coarsening of society - Men are of a coarse nature. It is the women who need polite society - a safe place for hearth and home, where women can join together to provide for rearing children and caring for elders. It is the women's way that has been corrupted. Men are only doing what women will settle for.
