I loved reading both of these articles I think that the strong feminists in our country have lost there sense of what is polite in today’s culture and what is disrespect. In the blog by John Hackensacker he stated a good fact “To open a door for a woman is not to deny her inalienable right to open it for herself, it is merely POLITE. To offer a woman a hand out of a car is not to assume that she can't get out by herself...IT IS POLITE!” I would strongly agree with this statement because I think that a women, no matter who they are and what they believe, need to realize that most men like to be courteous to you. They know when they are supposed to be gentleman like towards you and when it is crossing the line. If something like holding the door open for you really bothers you, tell the guy, otherwise he will continue to do so. I also liked reading the article in the Chicago Sun- Times. My mom raised me to stand on my own two feet, but I believe that there is a balance between standing on your own to feet and accepting help and chivalry all at once. Yes a woman can hold her own in the work place, but she shouldn’t find it disrespectful or degrading if a man holds the door for her. I think both of these articles made a good point when saying there should be a balance between feminism and chivalry.
