Dear Queenie,
When my daughter and her boyfriend came to visit me I noticed that he never opened a door for her or pulled out a chair at the table for her to sit down. When I spoke to her about it she said that she told him she doesn’t need him to do things like that for her as if she can’t do them herself, so he stopped.
Queenie, what ever happened to common courtesy?—Old-fashioned father
Dear Father,
It seems to have become less common as women’s lib grows stronger, but I agree with you, it is just a matter of common courtesy. In fact, I think courtesy should work both ways, and I often hold a door open for a man, for example.
