Dear Feminism
By Popular Demand

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

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