Manly Manners (Index)

What does it mean to be a man now? Instead of going out in the world to provide for his family, many men are now working at home - right beside their working wives. And with the children close at hand. And nary a war to be fought or a dragon to be slayed. But still plenty of fear and anxiety.

We need a return to the idea of acting like a gentleman. Of course, no gentleman ever abuses his authority to take advantage of someone in a position of weakness and no lady exploits the system for profit. See more at: You And The Ladies; The Basics

British Writer

~ Anthony Trollope
English Novelist
