"Even when I was in my 20s, when a woman entered the room, the men stood up. Car and restaurant doors were opened for women. Women were helped into their seat at the table. Only when women were seated did men sit down. Men were trained to be gentleman, and ladies to be ladies. No gentleman ever used a four-letter word in a woman’s presence, and no woman ever spoke one. Listen to the barbaric youth today."

It's not just the youth whose speech is barbaric today... 😩
between men speech is and always will be barbaric but not in polite company, this is rowdy, workman, back of house stuff
but it has been steadily normalised, most people are used to spicing their speech all the time... i'm conscious of it and try to be more politic when the occasion is more formal
