You go girl. I can see where you're coming from, but to us guys, its meant
out of respect. Plus women were considered weak back then (which was a false
lie) so I guess natually men help women. I agree on you if a group a women
want to escort me to get something (which will never happen :)), then I have
a right to say yea or nay. I would personally liked to be escorted by one of
my best girlfriends in my medieval group at my high school. Plus, our sponsor
appointed me as personal escort for any of our girls :D. If you come to
Atlantia and get an award, you'll have a pack of wild, savage men racing to
help you walk to their Majesties. Must be that southern hospitality.
