Are there any traditions and customs of the 20th century that you wish would come back?

Here's mine, girls and guys should start becoming ladies and gentlemen and start acting their age. Also, as an introvert, I miss privacy.

I agree that the lady-gentleman thing is far superior to what is more common these days.
Hook up culture can be fun, but it's unhealthy in many ways.
Guys resenting paying for dates because of "feminism" is un-manly and unattractive. It says that they fear and resent women in general.

Granted, lady and gentleman are roles. It's a dance; a game. But it's nice when a woman looks and acts feminine and when men act deferential, chivalrous, confident, strong and masculine.

Why not practice manners, open a door for a lady, help her be seated, and do other things to show care for her? It's not that she is incapable of doing those things for herself. But she graciously goes along with it to make him feel like a man. It makes her seem soft, delicate and feminine.
And why not make her feel safe, secure and special, and like the charm of her company is appreciated?

Men wore suits on nice dates, and women looked sexy and elegant, not like bar flies or street hookers.

None of that precludes sex. In fact, it enhances the sexual appeal.

yes the customary protected speech. people had a "custom" not to shout when they heard wording that they didn't like.

[Ian_Stark]

I agree, more people seem to shout now not think before speaking

freedom of speech and freedom of thought

[Ian_Stark]

I think we definitely still have freedom of speech, but lack of thought nowadays I agree with

[inhua]

technically yes if the conclusion is can people still open their mouths but rarely are people speaking what they truly believe due to cancel culture

for freedom of thought, schools are indoctrinating students on what to think which further reinforces the restriction on free speech

[Ian_Stark]

Ok, I don't have your social political mindset so I'll just disagree.

[inhua]

this has nothing to do with political mindset. this is the truth

doesn't matter what side of the political spectrum you are on, freedom of speech and freedom of thought should be for all

[Ian_Stark]

Ok, good for you

What kind of privacy, do you "still need"?
