A. Women in power, women in control and women in the dominant role within the female/male relationship definitely represents a societal shift, or as I like to refer to it, a societal evolutionary process toward female rule.

Yes, you may be a gentleman who treats women with respect and for that I applaud you. But whether you are an “old-fashioned” gentleman or a “modern day” gentleman depends on your motivation for holding doors open for women and treating them with respect. The old-fashioned gentleman viewed women as the “weaker-sex” and thus his actions were not so much servitude but rather chivalry. Nothing wrong with good, old chivalry as the world is in dire need of more gentlemen. But how you view women will ultimately affect how you treat women.

The societal change that we are seeing from the modern day gentleman is that he holds doors open for women and does such acts out of a desire to serve women. He is driven by a desire to submit to the female gender, as he does not view the female gender as being weaker but rather as being superior. He wants to please women and he wants to obey women.
