I like Carolyn when she threads boldly on any explosive topic. Marriage isn't what it used to be. 

Being chivalrous is, actually, pleasant, when you see that the other side accepts the game. 

Otherways, it's outward nasty. 

That's what the rumours, going around about American women are here among Bulgarian men - that you can be shouted at or even sued for being „sexist“ if you try to be a gentleman in the USA, especially in the workplace. 

I don't believe it is so bad - an older lady would never get offended by some politeness, even in America.

And postindustrial society is better suited to women, this is 100% true.
