Wanting to be a man of integrity: lost cause?

I don't know if this is part of it or not, but a major beef of mine is that basic manners don't seem to count as much as they used to. Individualism has seemed to take over in many ways. One pet peeve of mine is that students often call their teachers by their first name. I think this eliminates the number one way of teaching children that different rules apply in different social situations.

I also think that there is still some backlash from the age that I grew up in: that being the heydays of grassroots feminism. I think in in some ways this gives rise to a whole new class of mysogyny. Or maybe it's just the same-ole same-ole, but looks different to those of us that hoped some of the battles were won.
