Let's not assume that everyone that disagrees is stubborn and thick-minded. People just think different things for different reasons. I'm not saying chivalry is wrong. I'm just saying you can't practice chivalry and entertain the notion that you are also for equality of the sexes (as far as that can go, of course) without some serious hypocrisy and cognitive dissonence.
I think this issue riles up feathers due to the investment people have in it, much like politics or religion. People have been living their whole lives with a code of conduct, and opposition to that is like a direct attack on them as a person.
