This here downright cringeworthy educational film dates from 1967. It is, of all things, a US Navy film on *dating* etiquette.  A lot of it is badly dated (“Receiving lines?” Really?), and I bet a lot of it would raise hackles with the SJWs. It assumes distinct male/female roles, which might well irritate the trigglies (but then, what are the chances that a military man is going to date a triggly?), but on the whole it suggests that “consideration” is the thing to keep in mind, to “be a gentleman.”

Silly as the thing is on whole, I do wonder if a modernized version for the general population might be advisable for junior high and high school. It certainly seems like the concepts of consideration and gentlemanliness aren’t as prominent as they once were.
