FIRE: WOMEN FIRST?
Chigurh`s Argument
|
In a majority of things you hear over and over ladies first. A prime example is during a fire or fire drill. Should we stick to the old protocol of chivalry and ladies first, or should we not adapt to the new "equal" policy that women have been fighting for decades? If women want equality, I agree with them they should have it. It is not right to downcast women in society, the workplace etc. However, women must take equality across the board. Fires are a perfect example. Women shouldn't be given a preference. Whoever can get out first, should do so. |
Shopgirl`s Argument
|
|
It is called being a gentlemen, or being chivalrous, a guys should always go out of his way for a women. This has nothing to do with equality. That is a completely separate issue. Even if one day there is no more sexism, or putting down of women in the world, this idea of ladies first will still be in place and rightfully so. A guy should open a door for a women, give up his seat, and certainly make sure all the women are out of a room in a fire before he goes out. |

I believe that you have misunderstood what is ment by "equality". Women want to be given equal respect. This does not mean that the respect should be given unconditionally, we will earn this as would any person. We just want the opportunity rather than being seen as less of a person soley because of gender. I say this; however, I can honestly say that in my experience in the US today there is equality for all. This "equality" thing comes from so many years ago that I'm sure most of us can not even understand what the original fight was for. This I would say is a good thing. My husband opens my door, shovels the walk for me, allows me to go first etc... I do not interpet these things as being equal to him. I know that he wants to protect me and take care of me. I do the same for him when I make a call for him, pick up something he needs or just do things that make his life easier. My husband and I both work and are treated "equal" in our workplaces. We are also equals in our marriage because we care for and respect each other. I have held doors open for both men and women as I enter or leave a building. I have also had both men and women hold doors for me. It's really all about treating others with respect.

Women are always first, even with the whole "equality thing" That is, unless you are in fact gay.
