Exactly, we need to push ahead of this humanistic attitude. Manners are gone for both men and women. My husband doesn't like taking items back to the store,or complaining in any way. While I appreciate his manners I said "we lost customer service,people just gave up and now we have horrible service" There is a nice way to get your point across. We need to band together, get rid of the PC nonsense that really is militant, and get back to old fashioned values.
Lets be honest with ourselves. Were not going back to the old days. As much as we would absolutely love to turn a 180, were at the end of time here folks. Jesus is soon to return and in his word, he said it would be like this in the last days.
Instead of hoping for a better day that will never come, I would think its best we just look towards him. All the old fashion values we cherish are in much abundant supply in heaven waiting for us, but while we are here on this earth, we might as well make the best of it.

This reminded me of a post Julianna Zobrist posted a few days ago: https://www.instagram.com/p/BCbJQGVKSqy/
Context: Blaise is her Daughter(pictured in the link)
"If our purpose as women (according to popular Christian blogs) is to be faithful to our husbands and children, then what about Blaise? Who has no husband or children of her own? Is her life purposeless until she does? What if those blessings are never given to her? What of the woman whose husband passes away or leaves? Is her life void of purpose now?
Girls, (and popular Christian bloggers) let's be careful to not confuse our ROLES with our PURPOSE. Purpose is universal. To bring glory to our Creator (through whatever means or roles He sees fit). By His righteousness that has been imputed to us through the work of His son. #allthesingleladies"
The same can be said in regards to men, and their purpose and roles.

You really said this so well PoetMary.
This is so hard for me to fathom.
I cannot imagine returning such a kindness with disdain. I'm thankful to live in an area where people of all genders, races and ages delight in showing one another these small kindnesses, and gratefully accept them when they are offered.

Yes, I live in the south now and find it very different here. I hate to knock Canada,where I was born,but I find there is a lot more liberal mindset there.
Your taking my words out of context, I never said chivalry was based on the bible. Jesus never had a girlfriend, although I'm sure he was nice to Mary Magdelene the same as he was to men. I just don't know where you get the idea that women should be held up to a higher standard than everyone else "to honor and protect womanhood". I was just stating an awkward fact about our society in general. Men are constantly judged to such a high standard that being nice and chivalry like has no reward. Try setting up a profile at christianmingle and using a profile pic of some overweight dude with acne and write the most Godly facts about yourself you can think of. I guarentee you would get less responses that a pic of a handsome man with a less Godly or even an agnostic profile. It's just human nature. Like Oscar Wilde said, "One does not see anything until one see's it's beauty."

Wrong. Turn on the news. Tell me how many ugly female newscasters and weather girls there are. And if you still think beauty is subjective, I'll explain to you how the male mind works. Most men want a slim, slender, athletic or petite frame. Curves are pushing it. Overweight single moms are usually last in that line. Sure you might find some guys that are chubby chasers, but they make up a very small minority or just have low self-esteem and can't get anything better. Sounds harsh but it's reality. I hate talking about this because it sounds like I'm being bitter, which I'm not. The fact is that if my wife was 300lbs it wouldn't matter how much of a virtuous Godly woman she was, I wouldn't have dated her. If I was 5'2", I guarentee she would have passed going on a date with me and my options would be limited.
Here's what I find interesting about what you say:
1. You value appearance more than virtue.
2. You presume that all men think as you do.
3. You presume that men who are willing to date someone outside the cultural norm of beauty lack esteem.
4. You reference that "this is how the male mind works."
So, here's my response:
You're 23. While you have a male mind, your frontal lobe isn't fully formed yet. As a result, some of your views are limited in their scope and understanding.
When you are older and have a fully developed frontal lobe, some life experience, and the inner work of the Holy Spirit, you will (hopefully) think differently about humanity and the value of virtue over appearance.

Well, I'm not married yet and I little bit disagree with SparkelEyes.
Genesis 2:18 & 20 The Lord God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him…So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds of the air and all the beasts of the field. But for Adam no suitable helper was found.
Genesis 2:21-22 So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man's ribs and closed up the place with flesh. Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.
Woman was the finishing touch and completion of God's creation of mankind.
Genesis 2:23 The man said, "This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called 'woman,' for she was taken out of man.
" Genesis 2:24-25 For this cause a man shall leave his father and his mother and shall cleave to his wife; and they shall become one flesh And the man and his wife were both naked and not ashamed.
This is God's original plan for marriage. It is to be given top priority among human relationships. Man and woman in unity with each other and their Creator-one flesh-together showing forth the image of God.
