COURTESY - BEST POLICY!
I was riding the Transit today to meet a friend for lunch. I boarded the bus and sat at the front it. A few stops into the drive, a man came unto the bus with a child in a stroller. He put up the seats in front of me to have the stroller out of the way, but there was no where for him to set. I guess he could have stood, since he was a man - hmmm. Since I was right behind the stroller, I gave up my seat for the man. He thanked me.
While the bus continued it's route, I started to think how some people may think that I am a women's libber, because I gave my seat to a man. I chuckled! I gave it up for courtesy only! I think today's generation would not, but in my days they would.
I admit that over the ages, women's lib has done a lot of positive things for women. However, there are some topics that I disagree with, so I do not consider myself a women's libber. But this blog is not about women's lib's topics, per say, but I gave my seat to a man because it was the right thing to do. He needed to set close to the child in the stroller - thus courtesy is always the best policy - whether you are a women's libber or not.
