Eh, it was late and I lost my connection, along with my train of thought.
What I meant to say was, that there seems to be this line of reasoning that states 'women want everything equal, so why should we be 'chivalrous', when, in fact, nothing CAN be equal given those points. Does this mean we garner more respect and chivalry because of it? Not really, yet I find the young male respondents making the assumption that we are saying just that, while stating that we're 'equals' so no expectations of chivalry are legit. So, yes, I agree that we are NOT equals, but your post seemed to come across with an anger about it. My apologies if it was misread.
Damn train of thought derailed again:
I'd also like to point out that, just because some women find doing for their men to be satisfying to them does not mean anyone has the right to knock them for it. If a woman is happy catering and the man in her life does his part, who are we to criticize that? The only time anyone should take issue with it is if it's one-sided or bordering on abuse. I don't feel that just because any woman likes to cook for him, scrub his back or whatever, she's making herself less a human being. When something works, everyone else should just back off and worry about themselves.
