Madame Noire opines... "7 Manly Things We Wish Men Still Did"

Here goes! Excerpt:

'Why is it that everything of the past seems so good, so classic, soo…the way things should be. Decades ago, women were fighting for equal rights but, today, we’re fighting for a return to chivalry. No matter how you cut it, many women want to be treated like ladies and many of us imagine that the world of the 1960s was not only a world mired in charged politics but represented a time when American society was filled with an abundance of manly men. Ok, so maybe our memory is in part clouded by the period drama “Mad Men.”

In any case, sometime between my high school years and full-fledged adulthood, it seems that it’s become okay for men to not take the lead. I think I can speak for many women when I say we’re not too happy about this trend. Here’s a few things that we wish most men still did:

Move Out Of Their Mothers’ Houses
...
Insist On Paying The Bill
...
Dialing Our Number
...
Hold The Door Open For A Stranger
...
Keep Us Warm
...
Help Us With Our Bags
...
Having A Signature Aftershave'

"It’s nice to offer to help split the bill on your first date with a potential suitor – it shows consideration on your part after all. But we certainly don’t expect him to accept it. What we expect is for him to wholeheartedly, unabashedly insist on paying. Yes, indeed. That shows that he really wants to make a good impression on you.

But what if there is an awkward hesitation from him which ends up with the words “well, you can take care of the tip.” BUZZKILL. There’s nothing more disappointing then feeling that your date is uncertain about covering the costs of a date that he basically set up."

It's actually proper etiquette to offer to get the tip when someone is treating you to dinner. At least that's what my parents taught me. Here you have entitled princesses getting mad about the minor responsibility of getting the tip, when everything else is paid for. That really says a lot about how selfish the intended audience of this article must be.

To the credit of the author, at least she admits, "As much as we want to see each other as equals, men are certainly stronger than women, which makes them indispensable." It's weird though. Her choice of words almost make it sound like men are just machines to her.
