I agree with tinkerbell, many women have brought it on themselves.I am not a feminist and am always very happy to be treated with courtesy.I will always smile and say thank you for even the smallest kind gesture.Please don't tar us all with the same brush. I am shocked at the rudeness of some women,not only towards men but towards other women too. Good manners cost nothing and a smile is worth everything....when it is visible! Thank you to all you gentlemen out there,I know you exist.
