A polite invitation for a lady or ladies to do something first, especially entering some place or something.

Yes, no and maybe. It depends on the context ( who’s saying it, how it is delivered etc.). It’s just a phrase. Some consider this to be simply a matter of courtesy – it is definitely an outdated courtesy though if it only applies to women.

Here are 10 signs you’re well on your way to closing the gap on your character deficiencies:

• You discuss ideas, not people.
• You love yourself as much as you love anyone else.
• You take responsibility for all that is yours — regardless of whose fault it may be.
• You understand not everything requires your opinion.

A mature person can be sincere and still be courteous and respectful of people with whom you disagree. Part of being mature is understanding that other viewpoints and opinions have the same value as your own and shouldn’t be dismissed just because you don’t share them. Being yourself is good. Sincerity is good.
