Dominatra,

It took me a while to get over that.

Arse-holes come in both genders and appear to lack a clear

picture of genuine interpersonal interactions.

Raised as a Southern Gentleman, to be courteous to all, man woman young old... in this fast-paced world, I don't always have time to hold the door for someone 20 feet away, but I try to hold it for anyone within a couple of steps... mostly I get at least a smile and/or TY, no response won't ruin my day, but the truly rude makes me wanna set the WayBack Machine to 3 seconds ago, so I can let the door "slip" & slam into their uncultured ass... ;)

Being raised Southern style i have always fixed my so's plate even though he doesnt expect it. and the submissive thing is taught from a young age but its submission with power. you are taught not to take any disrespect but as the saying goes behind every great man is a greater woman. i grew up seeing men think they made a decision when really behind the scenes the woman did. so being submissive acting in public really doesnt bother me much.

Nikanik, don't you think the movie "Steel Magnolias" showed a cross-section of the spirit of the Southern Lady? I didn't catch many false notes in that one...
