It is sad commentary when men start believing the negative words that others attribute to them. And it is just as bad to watch men give up and throw in the towl, especially when it comes to things as important as chivalry and good conduct.

Okay, so it sucks out there and the odds are against you. But it shouldn’t stop you from courtesy or doing what is right, whether it be for a man or woman. Yeah, don’t be a doormat and not protect yourself or make poor decisions. But, don’t turn into some whiny turd either. There’s a difficult third road of teflon self-respect, and that one is far more intrisically satisfying.
