Please note that (i) you were not the only person arguing that one should give their seat up for someone who is older than you and therefore, my comment about age was not necessarily directed at you and (ii) we are talking about rules generally and I do not expect a teenager to get up out of their seat on the train simply because I am of a different generation.

And as I've insisted, the gender-based precedence is no longer current, and it is absolutely not rude to practice the updated "precedence to elders (and disabled)" version instead. It is rude to fault someone for doing so, just as it is rude to fault someone for practicing the older gender-based version, since we are still in a transitional period. This does, admittedly, make things somewhat confusing, but such is the burden of our generation - and I don't waste much pity on us for it. What is rude is to take the lapse of old rules as an excuse to revert to "me first" and abandon all considerations for others.
Right. Uh...I've already said this when I said I don't care if other men follow these rules. Makes no difference to me, as long as they aren't fucking up the flow for everyone else.

It doesn't work that way, frenquently, and you're right, none of that shit is acceptable.. The possibility, even likelihood, of rudeness does not excuse preemptive rudeness.
I don't really know why you included this paragraph as it is already exactly what I said. People should treat other people with the consideration they expect, regardless of gender. I don't know where preemptive rudeness even fits into the conversation.

But that's only because I don't really give enough of a shit about you to waste the time. And I suspect you know this.

Pretty sure I said "I like" not "men are shit if they don't," but if not, then I'll do a global, post hoc, imaginary search and replace. Man, you are a baby.

I generally would, not that any of them do. All children should treat all adults with respect and (reasonable) deference [carve out for bad touching]. OK, I admit, we may disagree about something.

So far I've given logic and you've given the opposite of logic, so I don't really get your first point, but I agree, so what.

No. If you think common courtesy means that men do all these things (deemed polite ages ago) for women, that means you don't know what "common" means. If you are saying that women and men should extend each other largely the same courtesy, then you and I agree and all your other posts have been bullshit.

Being completely oblivious to everyone around you and inconveniencing countless people because you are in your own world and clearly don't care is just as rude as not holding the door for someone else. Examples of this type of behavior: (i) walking in a group more than 3 abreast and forcing other people to navigate around you, (ii) stopping at the end of the escalator instead of moving to the side, (iii) pushing your way towards the doors of the subway or elevator because your stop is next instead of waiting until the doors open and allowing people to move or get out first. There are many examples.

And, if you read carefully, you would have noticed that I said I can make "excuse me" sound like fuck you. I don't go around saying "fuck you" to everyone, you maroon.

Female litigators have no idea how much they can get away with if they'd put down the hardass "making it on their brains" posture and shake their moneymakers and flirt. You could pick my fucking pockets dry... Even hitched, no man can get icy with a flirty cute chick. If I had a tight little ass, sexy eyes and set of tits, I'd have a corner office...
3, although I'll usually grant the extension on discovery to anyone (unless I'm previously aware of his/her douchebaggedness), you dick.

Wouldn't it be more efficient to just say "fuck you" if that's the sentiment you want absorbed?
