Exactly How Dead Is Chivalry Nowadays?

[93 til]

I feel like opening the door is like the basic level of chivalry. I do it for almost every female I come across. If they're in range I'll open/hold the door for them and not even think much about it.

Most of the time I'll get a thank you, whether it's genuine or not. A few times it's made someone's day. I don't even trip over the ones that don't say anything. Why ruin my mood over someone who's already pissed off at the world. I just or and KIM

I do it just cuz that's how I was raised it is what it is

When it's a character thing you don't even think about it.


How I look trying to figure out in .3 seconds if someone is "worthy" enough for me to open/hold a door for?


I try to just be courteous to everyone, and females (regardless of looks, b/c it honestly doesn't matter) I try to open or hold the door for, if I'm out with one on a date, I'll get her chair. We got auto locks so I don't need to open her door (although some occasions I do get her car door) I don't use or carry umbrellas, but if i ever happen to have one, I'll give it to the lady I'm with.

I'll make sure she walks always on the inside of the curb, but I'm not putting no jacket over the puddle lol...

I was raised to treat my elders and just people in general with respect. I try to live that out daily. It's been ingrained in me, I still say "yes/no sir/ma'm" to any elders... I don't expect everyone to be the same tho.


It is dying, and shoot, a lot of these young females don't even know what it is or value it b/c they moms didn't get or expect any...shame

The only right answer. The rest is just excuses to be an a$$hole.

I hold doors open and do other little shyt not based off flawed chivalrous assumptions of a weaker sex, and also not b/c I'm expecting something in return but b/c I like helping PEOPLE.

The problem with chivalry was the assumption of inferiority in women or the assumption of their inability to do for themselves.

Equity in gender now means we have an opportunity to see women beyond weakness and as capable.

But a woman's capability has nothing to do with human decency that should be afforded to all. You don't stop being kind to people (we forget women are people) just because ur petulantly mad that a capable human being wants their abilities and value recognized.
"Oh u an equal?! Open ur own doors bytch!"

How about "Yeah ur an equal but that doesn't make u perfect and if u need a hand, I got and female should do the same for us."

Is it really that hard to be reasonable these days?

Chivalry is an old sexist ideology.

Equal rights for all!!

Open the door for her, & grab a handle full of her ass as she walks through

at one time in my life i would have tried this....

 

[DA_LURKA]

I hold doors open for women all the time. I hate when it's a rude ass bytch that don't say thank you tho.

I hate when i am walking into a place with a female and if she's walking a few steps ahead of me she stops at the door until I catch up to open the door.

 

[Mr_X]

I thought broads wanted equality

So i don't open doors and do all that extra shyt for anyone

Black women killed it. Yeah I said it. Especially these young black women. You young people in a world where less is more. Treat em accordingly
