I agree that boorishness isn't a modern phenomenon but the problem I see in its current proliferation is that far too many people see themselves (and subsequently, their opinions) validated by a largely imaginary social media audience. <br /><br />What really troubles me is that we are being artificially divided into separate camps by a power structure (gov&susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747450215034568033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6270306578933066732.post-80607381862431137502017-03-11T06:39:46.654-05:002017-03-11T06:39:46.654-05:00At first I misunderstood your comment Susan, but I...At first I misunderstood your comment Susan, but I believe you are saying that people who say these sort of things to a woman are displaying a lack of good manners. I have heard many such comments made by people who were very 'well meaning' indeed; some of them quite old fashioned too. <br />Having heard some of these being said many years ago now, it seems unlikely that boorishness is a Hallehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03847654451426257182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6270306578933066732.post-5016491746342381812017-03-10T21:07:43.989-05:002017-03-10T21:07:43.989-05:00It seems to me so many of the negative comments Ms...It seems to me so many of the negative comments Ms. Privett posted have to do more with the general boorishness that has infected western culture. Does nobody remember the old adage about saying nothing if you can't say something nice? I'm certain I'm old fashioned but it seems to me good manners are even more important as time goes by.susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747450215034568033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6270306578933066732.post-59464260646723675222017-03-09T09:01:38.894-05:002017-03-09T09:01:38.894-05:00So important Joanna; absolutely.

They are exposed to situations where their vulnerability makes them have to choose between danger and strength when encountering a man who threatens to abuse them in some way.

My daughter is a feminist in her own way; not militant but I always tell her that she does not come second to a man and to be her own person.
