@divegeester saidI am old, Dive and I like polite men, and he is old too I believe. Also I experience young men and women offering me a seat on the bus, they clearly see me as an old woman and I'm comfortable with that.
That’s quite an archaic perspective of how men should treat women.

Do you 'really' thing Torunn believes a gentlemen should let women win at games?

About Earl, we play unrated games, we play so that we can chat and have been doing so for some years. If winning against me mattered to him, he would take every game.
@torunn saidThat is one of the pleasures of life: to have a good time.

@torunn saidPersonally I don’t see what age has to do with it; letting a female win something in order to be seen as being polite seems like an odd sexist perspective to me.

Giving up a seat to an elderly person is indeed considerate.
@ghost-of-a-duke saidIf Torunn was making it up then she can say so. I’m being polite at taking her at her word.

@divegeester saidI was merely joking a bit, Dive - feminism or sexism has nothing to do with it. And I am not a feminist in any way, never was. I believe in equality as far as possible, that's all.

Irrespective of that. I think it is an archaic sexist attitude if a women expects a man to allow them to win at something in order to be kind and/or polite.
