How men behaved toward women in the past, 3 The difference between men’sand ER Nobody knows how long people have been using the words “Ladies First.” nor is anyone sure where the concept came from. However, neither of these facts matters today. The important question is whether the traditionis still relevant, and if men should continue respecting it. Inthe past, there was a strict set of rules concerning men's behavior toward women ~ or rather “ladies” as they were called then. Men wearing hats used to take them off in the presence of women. They used to stand up whenever ‘a woman entered or left a room, and they did the same at adining table. Men sed to hold @ door for a woman to allow her to go through first. They always sed to pay for meals - but well come back to that one later. Allof these ‘customs were considered good manners, and people looked down'on men who did not conform. Infact, this set of rules actually made things easier for men. IFthey broke a rule, they knew perfectly well that they were going to offend somebody. Today, itis mucheasier to cause offense without meaning to. For example, fa man ‘opens a door tolet a woman through first, and she does so without saying thank you the man may feel offended, And if a man invites a woman toa restaurant of his choice on their first date, and then asks her to pay her half of the check it may be the woman who gets upset. Women no longer want to be treated as the weaker sex, which leaves men in a dilemma. On one hand, men are conscous of the “Ladies First” tradition, but on the other, they do not want. to offend. Often, they dor't know what todo. The best advice is this ifn doubt, men should follow the rules of “Ladies First.” Even ifthe woman considers the behavior inappropriate, she wil stil realize that the man has good manners. This is particularly relevant on that first date We were talking about. IFthe man has invited the woman out, then he should pay the check. Actually, it’s the invitation to dinner itself that isimportant here, ‘not the amount of money spent. In general, women appreciate a picnic or a home-made dinner just as much as an expensive meal. Sothe answer to our original question is: yes. “Ladies First” is still relevant today, but notin the same way as it was in the past. Most women appreciate a kind gesture made by a man, but he should never accompany it with the words “Ladies Fist” ~ Itspolls the effect completely!b Read the article again and choose the right answer. 1 According to the article. athe idea of “Ladies first” started in the Mile Ages. b the dea of “Ladies first” isa new idea. © it’s not known when the idea of “Ladies first” started. 2 Inthe past. amen didn't know how to behave toward women. bb “Ladies first” was very polite © itdidn’t matter if men broke the rules. 3 Nowadays, men. a aren't sure how to behave toward women, bb behave in the same way toward women, © have new rules to follow. 4 According to the atticle, men should, a notthink about what women want. bb follow the rules of “Ladies first © not follow the rules of “Ladies first.” 5 Accordingto the article, always want expensive things. bb don’tlike it when men cook. ikea mealat home or in a restaurant, © Lookat the highlighted words and phrases.
