Not putting down men, they have their own great gifts.

When I go to walk through a door and a man sees me coming and holds a door for me, I always say thank you.

I never think of it as seeing me as weak, but someone that recognizes and respects women. (whether its a man or woman that does the holding)

Especially though men holding the door, I always recognize that he is showing respect and I say thank you.

It is part of a nice society which many groups out there wants to destroy.

When I grew up I always showed respect for my elders and others.

We always treated people with respect.

I had 3 children and married a very traditional man.

I have never regretted it, I never thought I had to have a career to make myself feel good about myself.

I did have to work, not because my man did not respect me, but to live well it took two incomes.

Even with that, my husband saw me as a treasure.

And I on the other hand saw him as a blessing.

When a man and woman can truly respect each other, it creates a deeply satisfying life!
