Questions: Society & Politics

Inspired by a question @ultimega just asked: Have any of you heard this rule before?

But seriously! What's the point in telling boys to be "chivalrous" and girls to behave "like a lady" when instead we could just cut the crap and tell everyone to be polite?

Like if a dude opens a door for me, that's cool, I'll say thanks but I'm not going to expect him to open a door for me, or wait for him when he's miles behind just so he can open a door for me- and chances are if he's behind me, and I'm in front then I'll hold the door open for him, not because I'm trying to make a feminist statement and he's not opening the door to be chivalrous for me- we're both just being polite.

And then as for all this "lady-like" stuff, I hear dumb things like that rule above, because firstly that's just rude not to finish your plate and it's wasteful too. Secondly, I hear things like: "don't chew with your mouth open, it's not ladylike" but that's just stupid to say, because it's rude and off putting for a girl or a guy to chew with their mouth open. Again, if I chew with my mouth closed I'm not trying to be ladylike and if a dude chews with his mouth closed he's not trying to be "feminized" or whatever, we're both just being polite.

Honestly, if I have a son or a daughter I'm not going to fill their heads with those labels, when I can tell them both to just be polite, decent human beings.

So do you think we should promote chivalry to boys and being ladylike to girls or do you think we should just promote being polite to both boys and girls? And why?

If so, why?

From experiences
From social media

The world's largest American flag was ripped in half. The Washington Monument was struck by lightning, and so were two national guardsmen.

I found this interesting, given the turmoil that the US has been enduring in 2020. Do you believe it has any supernatural significance?

So we all saw the horrible death of George Floyd. And I will not deny that that particular officer was racist. I will not deny that some police are racist. I will not even deny that some people are racist. But I do not think that America overall has a race problem.

I hate how the media loves to publicize when a white man kills a black man. Y'all know I'm from Chicago, and I see more deaths every weekend (especially in summer) than ALL deaths from police IN A YEAR. If white police are racist for killing a few black people, then how racist are fellow black people for killing each other? What about the countless Latinos killing each other because of gangs?

If America was racist, why do so many other countries want to come here? Nobody dies trying to get to Canada, and Canada's a liberal's wet dream not too far from here. (Don't give me that bs that it's "too far up north" when Dominicans go to New York and Mexicans come up here to Chicago. You're telling me they can't go up a few miles farther north? LIES. We are better and more welcoming than Canada).
If America was so racist, why would Dems push for more immigration? It's pretty fucked up that they would push for it if they truly believed they'd be mistreated simply for the color of their skin. (LIES, we are treated pretty well).

Don't trust the media. We are not some wild west where anyone with pigment in their skin is a free target. The truth is, we are treated well here, better than our mother lands. And we'd rather be here than in all those other liberal utopias (Canada, Europe, Australia). Many of us our extremely religious and gun friendly.
I'd post sources, but liberals in general don't care about them and I waste my time finding them. I still love all my liberal friends, but I just can't even have a conversation without y'all hurling insults and posting shitty memes instead of actual data.
