Dear Feminism

By Popular Demand

By Earl W. PearlPublished 2 years ago Updated 2 years ago 1 min read

You’re calling us misogynist for opening your door

Well now it isn’t often that it happens anymore

You treated us with such contempt for pulling out your chair

So now you better look again in case it isn’t there

Remember when a women stood, the men were standing too

Well now it’s just your attitude that’s standing up with you

Some women likely never knew this practice we applied

When walking on a busy street the man took the outside

A chivalrous, loving display of what you mean to men

But feminism now insures you walk at risk again

You held these things against us just for showing you respect

And getting now what you deserve, what more can you expect

We didn’t do these many things because a woman couldn’t

We did these things as gentlemen, and chided men who wouldn’t

We honored you by doing what you’re doing now instead

That feministic nonsense is why chivalry is dead

    No don’t let it be dead. Some are rough and in trying to find their way, ruin it. My husband is a gentleman. 😍
