If women want men to follow the code of chivalry, then women had better get back in the damn kitchen and do nothing except look pretty for guys, because that's what they did in the Middle Ages and chivalry is a medieval concept.
I do, however, practice common courtesy everyday.

I actually agree. I open doors for my wonderful boyfriend and offer him seating if it's limited, since he has a bum knee. On the other hand, he's also wonderful to lift heavy stuff for me, open doors, pull out my chair, etc. I happily bend down to pick stuff up since it's harder on him and deal with things that are easier if you're smaller, and he does the stuff that's easier if you're larger. (He's nearly 100 lbs. heavier and almost a foot taller.)
The Rule of Thumb also was started in the same period. The Rule of Thumb in England meant it was okay to beat your wife, so long as you didn't use anything thicker than your thumb.
