I learned at a young age to "Treat other people how you would like to be treated" and that's how I try to live my life - it's easy to live that way and it's usually polite. I hold doors for people (all people) because it's polite and I would like them to hold doors for me.

I agree with most of the posters here who have said that chivalry is dead and deservedly so. That is because I tend to associate chivalry with treating women a certain way because they are weak and need taking care of. I don't believe women are weak or have a need to be taken care of, thus they get no special treatment from me above how I already treat everyone else. I hold doors for men, I hold doors for women. If a man drops a bag of stuff on the ground I'll help him pick it up as readily as I'll help a woman pick her dropped items up.

Now this is just a generality. Obviously we all hold our mothers, sisters and wives up higher than we hold other women.

I also liked this line and found it very easy to agree with:
