Chivalry: It's Not Dead

Coming to BYU makes me a little spoiled, I guess. I rarely have to walk through a door without some type of assistance from a male. On those rare occasions when I have to open the door myself, something feels wrong. I love it. I love how the boys here (or most of them anyway) are gentlemen and will respect women.
Tonight, I got to go visit an old friend in Orem. He's a nice guy and super nice. Sometimes he can get a little obnoxious, but that's him and we love him for it. Spending time with him gave me the bonus of spending time with his roommate who just happened to be void of a sensor chip. Curse words were a major part of his vocab.
Now, as an English buff, you would think that I could tolerate a few curse words. Which I can. I just choose not to like them. Or say them. I feel like I sound stupid when I used them. So it bothered me a tiny bit when the roommate busted out a few F words now and then. Whatever, I was leaving soon anyway. However, my friend, being the gentleman that he secretly is inside, scolded him a bit for using that language in front of a 'Lady. A BYU lady, at that.' The roommate replied, 'I don't care. She's an adult. She can take it.' That made me want to deck him.
Seriously???
