PCness gone mad has ruined everything and make things that are good old fashioned chivalry and turned it into a form chauvanism. Which is sad. I'm independent, emotionally and financially, but if my other half wants to make me feel special or cared for and protected, I'm not going to refuse....

Well put OB and yes I do apreciate being treated with courtesy and respect as do most women (I suspect). To me good manners are very PC and it all just goes to helping make the world a more pleasant place to live.
