I don't find it condescending at all, as it only serves as a reminder for the rest of us. Obviously, it doesn't apply to only the particular lady that is being reviewed, but to ALL women, whom we meet in professional as well as personal circles.
I am afraid the word "treat her well and with respect" sounds more like a cliche nowadays.
It's a given guys should treat ladies like a gentleman but will the ladies treat guys well and with respect?
Or just take it for granted?
See I have a problem when I act exactly all of the textbook case like a gentleman, many "mature civilian" women show their appreciation to me.
It is the younger ones and those with my same age group who are mean spirited and make fun on me, saying I'm pansy and a bumper....all at my back near the water cooler.
Yeah, they think I didn't hear a thing and you could tell how surprised they looked when I caught them red handed doing the gossipping.
How pathetic is that when I "treat them with respect", help them cover their bums in the workplace and those girls see me as dependable "brother"?
