    Woman suffer from this being too “Polite.” We are extremely intelligent in everyway and have been taught Universally to stand behind. WE MUST STAND BESIDE & SOMETIMES IN FRONT IF IT DEEMS NECESSARY! Countries that don’t respect woman do not fare well ! It’s BIBICAL and that is truly saying something !!

    I believe the far greater present-day problem is arrogance and rudeness among people who always want to claim some kind of “victim” identity for themselves to justify their own argumentativeness, arrogance and rudeness toward others. It’s an anger-breeding attitude, and most people nowadays are much more rude than people generally were in the past.
    Psychiatrists, psychologists and counselors started preaching so-called “assertiveness” and a “me first” attitude since at least as long ago as the 1970s because their patients or clients like to be stroked with sympathy for themselves.
    Now, everyone must fear unintentionally offending others with the slightest little comment or action, and people these days are constantly saying “I’m sorry” to others who just want an excuse for being mean themselves.
    Your little theory here is the same kind of anger-breeding teaching, and you need to cut it out. You have everyone “walking on eggs” whenever they are in the presence of others.
    You are hindering; not helping.
    I am offended by your selfish and self-serving philosophy.
