(Mar 10, 2006)
I have come to accept the fact that most (not all) young men of today don't even know what chivalry is. However, I have difficulty with the fact that some (not most) of the middle age men have forgotten all they have been taught.
Last Tuesday morning, I donned my ice skates for some exercise. I was busy adjusting my gloves as I stepped on the ice, foolishly forgetting to remove my guards, and I fell. Fortunately, only a sore knee was the result.
There were about six middle-age men skating and not one of them came over to ask if I was okay or if I needed help up. I managed to right myself, remove my guards and continue on my exercise regime. I would hope that if I had seriously hurt myself, that possibly one of these men would have come to my assistance.
If I had seen one of these gentlemen fall, I would have inquired as to his well being as I did when a hockey dad went down. Next time, I'll remember to remove my skate guards in case those gentlemen (?) are there again. |
Funny, how she only expected men to help her, why not women too? Would it be any more difficult for any woman there to come over and ask her if she is allright?
I would do it myself, sure. I usually help people when they are in trouble and there's something I can do about it.
