Please be kind?

[emrekaankeles]

Why is politeness and courtesy seen only as an obligation for men to treat women? However, such humane things should be for everyone from everyone. Shouldn't a woman be kind to a man if a man is to be kind to a woman? Everyone should be kind to everyone, gender etc. regardless.

According to the person who says he should treat women kindly and politely, he says yes when I ask if men should be treated like this. So why the most fundamental incarceration with sex? Everyone should be treated like this anyway, so it has no gender.

I get what you're saying but in reality their are a lot of unspoken power dynamics at any given moment. For myself I'm a giant dude 6'8 350 lb. I get that being around me can be scary and i try to mitigate that as much as possible. That means being polite.

I get that it's not intuitive but thats why culturally we have such a hard fast rule on it. Small mistakes get people hurt too much too often.

Nah, she can keep the kindness garbage and exhibit some classy and sexy flirtatiousness.
Mr. handsome Gentleman-Kindness guy will, like a coal man of yesteryear, stoke that fire 🔥

What if it's a transman or transwomen or, even worse, an otherkin or furry?

You can be as polite and courteous to cancers as you like. You'll just affect yourself badly.
