"Promise Keepers" and other men who believe the gospel of Jesus Christ offer guidance and one-on-one counseling in the affairs of holy matrimony and treating women and wives with respect. They usually use the advice offered in the bible by God, the Father given to Moses and the Israelites in the Old Testament books and by Jesus and his disciples in the New Testament. One of the scriptures: Ephesians chapter 5: verse 25 is often quoted as godly advice from men of God to their brothers in Christ: " Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it." and verse 28: "So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself." Free pre-nuptial marriage counseling, regularly scheduled seminars and retreats are also offered to couples and singles who are interested to discuss, teach and exemplify the proper treatment of spouses by each other- male and female.
Abusive marriage partners of both genders are neither condoned nor supported in the true Christian church.

There is the occasional verbal or physical things but those arent that big of a deal.
The real pressure comes from knowing that if he doesnt treat his girl right some other guy will and once she finds that other guy to treat her right, she is out the door.

I've seen them correct each other regularly. Each time it was different. I've seen them get right in their friend's face, I've heard them say "Dude, what if that was your sister?" I've heard "Your mamma didn't teach you nothin?"
Easy answer - yeah - they do.
Unfourtanley there are still men out there that have no respect for women and that's sad but there are lots that do respect women and will stand up to those that don't
Susan i Agree with you i have seen the same things myself

I don't think it is necessary peer pressure, it is more about some men pointing out that another does not have good manners. I would tell anyone who is around who is making snide comments about either gender to keep their opinions to themselves. It just displays lousy conduct when anyone verbally bashes someone just because of their gender.

In South America (can't remember which country, though), domestic violence is pretty high. There's a group of men who are trying to make it change. They talk to men, and explain things to them. These men, once they realize that what they think is normal is actually not normal, in turn explain things to other people.
I think it is a very good initiative.

my boyfriend does this with some of our guy friends when they get out of line. he'll usually say something like "dude, i know you weren't raised in a fricking barn"
also, when i was a kid and out with my parents and someone said something to either me or my mom that was really sexist or inappropriate, my dad would look them right in the face and tell them to evolve or stop wasting oxygen.

I do at times - in fact I pulled a guy at work aside last week and explained to him how his touching behavior was inappropriate. He took it well.

If I see a guy treating a woman poorly I usually punch the guy in the head.

I've heard "Your mamma didn't teach you nothin?" I even saw a guy pop another guy in the back of the head once. I really liked that - they guy who got hit was a jerk.
Easy answer - yeah - they do.

Well Ms. Giraffe, the answer is yes. Most of the time, its simple. The guy doing the Doggin will get the back of the head slap or something and then, "WTF is wrong with you?" Thus giving him the wake up call. Is chivalry dead? No, i say its just dormant.
