SAYS MEN TREAT WOMEN BETTER THAN THEY DID
Ladies' and gentlemen of the old school who complain that men of today treat women with none of the old-time gallantry will doubtless be surprised to learn that many modern women prefer it so. For, as is pointed out by a modern young woman, Vyvyan Donner, in an article in this week's Liberty, there are compensations. "The attitude of men toward women is nicer than it used to be," they seem to think so. And they feel they enjoy being with them more than they used to. It is not hard to explain.
"Women are doing so many more things alongside of men, socially and in the business world," the writer declares. "The women are beginning to understand the male point of view better; and men are beginning to understand women better. There is more camaraderie. More laughter together. More places of entertainment to which they can both go. Yes, the women like the world better, as well as the men."
