You are correct, Elena. American feminism is much different than your feminism. American feminists have actually hurt American women and convinced young American girls of a total lie.

The agenda of European feminism seems to be equal rights for both men and women, and this is noble. If men are gentlemen, women should not have to fight for this. In the US, this has become a tool of a gay atheist agenda that seeks to destroy all vestiges of traditional family, even though many feminists here are not gay and are very sincere. Destroying all traditional gender roles is high on their list. European women, most noticeably Slavic women here on the site, find this type of etiquette desirable, and very well they should.

Many of you ask why some of us men came to look for women here in your country; one answer is because our women do not seem to understand how to respond when they are properly treated. Sometimes this is simply ignorance, more often than not it is a sign of a deeper, more complex problem. The same is also for men, if they are not treating you with proper respect.

My father raised my brothers and me to respect our mother and all women. I always open the door for all women, offer my seat to a woman standing, follow all rules of etiquette. I do not do this because it is "proper"; I do it because I care and show respect. I taught my son to do the same.

Several times my son dated girls who appeared uncomfortable and wanted to know what he was doing, when he opened the car door for her. Needless to say, that was the last date. The girl he finally married deeply appreciated his concern for her and his polite, caring actions.

Politeness can be performed, but it is best to come directly from the heart.
