Of course I've no frame of reference, being male, but reading this...just makes my naivety boil up to the surface. From the instances you describe, I just cannot fathom that kind of behavior. It would never occur to me to behave like that, it would never occur to me that anyone would.
Anyway, thanks for the very thoughtful insight. I plan to share it with others if that's ok...
I'd like to believe that southerners might uphold a more chivalrous outlook, but as 'Hand Guns' posted, many of our larger metropolis' here in Texas have gone the way of the generic big city where too many people won't/don't care. I know plenty who would, and would like to count myself in that group, but there's not a lot of us. Not that has a lot of bearing on the point of your post, but it's an honest reaction on my part.
