Good on you David. I agree. In general, chivalry does appear to have gone. I am 66 and still open doors for people, let them have a seat if they need it (such as aged, pregnant women or people with disabilities) but unfortunately, this seems to be a thing of our past generations. I also agree about womens lib. I tried to help a women I knew to move a cupboard, and she told me in no uncertain terms 'was I trying to show off my manly strength, that just because she was a woman, she wasn't incapable'. Can't win them all!
