I think people are confusing chivalry and common courtesy....
Nothing wrong with either. I don't see how chivalry is bad. We don't live in medieval times and I see chivalry as being, well, common courtesy. SO what's the problem here? Why all the anger? What does gender have to do with any of this?
I'm chivalrous. I hold the door for everyone and give up my seat for anyone who looks like they could use it (chicks with kids, the elderly, both genders).
I was in crutched for two weeks this spring and not once did anyone ever give up their seat on the bus for me (I'm a guy if it matters). I think chivalry is dead cause people are just rude these days and too selfish.
Hey I've got a good story of this lady who was chivalrous. I was trying ro cross the street carrying 7 12-packs of soda (they were on sale). Halfway across, the bags broke and I dropped them. Then the light changed. but my goodness, a heroine appeared out of nowhere (an old lady at that - some chick in her 40-50s) and helped me gather up the sodas and actually helped carry them back with me all the way back to my apartment (half a mile away).
I see that as chivalrous. People are against this? People are against people helping each other and being courteous?
