I think we should all be treated the same - with respect.

That said, I do appreciate a gentlemen standing up for ladies, wee beasties, and the, um, "less educated." Maybe because I'm older and come from a different environment with more etiquette than what's accepted these days, I don't think it's chauvinistic to have a fellow open doors or offer me his coat if I'm cold, or defend me against an impolite remark.

My question was in a discussion of ideas, political discussions, where gender should not matter IMHO, should a woman get special treatment? Keep in mind this is on the internet. Where all are equal. Ideas are what set you apart. Not gender. But hey , you may disagree and let me know why, if so.
So much of politics is personal opinion, party palooza, media smooza, it's hard to tell what the truth is anymore. So can't we debate with open minds and not disparage other's remarks to the point of insult?

JD Barleycorn came on here crying about being called an idiot , after basically calling those that disagree with her the exact same thing, we should submit to her, just because he is acting like a girl?
