Down here in Oz, the Feminazis are trying hard to stamp out common courtesy, just as everywhere else. Thank Christ there pretty thin on the ground here. The thing is, when we use the word Chivalry, it has connotations relating back to the original meaning, like knights errant rescuing distressed maidens, and as such, it does have chauvinistic overtones.
Maybe it's the circles I move in [or it could be my advancing years], but I have NEVER had a complaint when I open a car door for a woman, or stand aside to let her enter a doorway first. Having said that, I do the same thing if I'm with another male, it's just courteous.
If there's a few rabid FemDoms out there who think I'm demeaning them - well, fuck 'em, they're a minority and time will sort them out in the end.
Anyway, f I had a choice, I'd take feminism, no matter how extreme, in preference to PC. I tell you, the world's going mad with political correctness - but that's another subject.
