No, just having a little trouble with that whole circulation/respiration thing. The life support equipment helps, but we're not really sure if it can save the patient or just keep them alive and in pain.

Are men still expected to do these sorts of things that exhume chivalry for their female partners?

It depends upon the partner, social setting, phase of the moon, etc. Some partners like chivalrous behavior, some do not. In some areas it's considered acceptable, and in others a chivalrous male can expect to be attacked by rabid Femicentrists for so much as opening a door.

Has the feminist movement killed chivalry by changing womens' perception on what they should expect out of life, and how men should treat them?
|
Certain segments of the Feminist movement (what I refer to as the Femicentrist or Vagofixated wing) have -tried- to kill chivalry by insisting that it is, instead of simple good manners, a conscious demeaning of women carried out and carried on by vicious, hateful, violent, testosterone-poisoned male-chauvanists who are probably just looking for their next rape victim anyway. Pat Conroy has a -beautiful- segment in "The Prince Of Tides" illustrating this, wherein a screeching harridan threatens to gouge the eyes out of a Southron character who dares to open a door for her. Having had my genitals threatened in similar fashion for the same act, I would hold that the Vagocentric wing of the Feminist movement exercises some appeal and authority, and yes, has done their level best to kill chivalry and good manners.
