| – | Chivalry is a submissive act.Submissiveness is not demeaning. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 15/06/26 05:08 PM |
| – | Chivalry is a submissive act.but I don’t? Why do you think “submissive” is bad? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 15/06/26 04:51 PM |
| 5 | Chivalry is a submissive act.Yes, which are being subservient. They are submissive to their leader and by nature. Most of the military complex is dominant and submissive power dynamics | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/06/26 04:39 PM |
| 1 | Chivalry is a submissive act.It’s not that I have a low value of myself, I just don’t think I have more intrinsic value than any other person. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/06/26 04:35 PM |
| 3 | Chivalry is a submissive act.Yes, I’ve dated folks like that. I just didn’t realize how pervasive it is in other regions. You have no “extra worth” than any other person. They’re choosing to be submissive towards you to “win” social and cultural points based on how they were raised. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/06/26 03:08 PM |
| 2 | Chivalry is a submissive act.I’m not grumpy. I don’t mind conforming to harmless cultural things when I travel | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/06/26 03:07 PM |
| 0 | Chivalry is a submissive act.Is it only meaningless now because you don’t like that it now it applies to you? It doesn’t make the word meaningless, it just makes men who are uncomfortable with the word realize it applies to them. Yes, I think from an behavioral biology standpoint that items can be largely stated as “dominant or submissive” | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/06/26 03:06 PM |
| 2 | Chivalry is a submissive act.I think it’s submissive on maybe 2-3 levels. 1) submitting to cultural politeness is submission. This is often not a bad/harmful thing 2) performing service tasks for someone able to do it without you is submissive 3) doing it for external validation from other men noticing the politeness an conformity to social norms is another rung of submission It only becomes misogynistic to me if they think the woman is incapable, has “stings attached,” or doesn’t take no for an answer. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/06/26 07:23 AM |
| 1 | Chivalry is a submissive act.Being a kind person and doing nice things for people is attractive to most folks (holding doors generally, etc). Assuming women are incompetent or using acts of kindness for ulterior motives is not attractive to me. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/06/26 07:11 AM |
| 2 | Chivalry is a submissive act.submission and submissive acts are not a bad thing. I never said or implied it was. I am concerned you don’t find issue with examples in poin ts two and three. Assuming a woman is incapable of driving in adverse conditions. Pushing too far and asking multiple times when told they can hold their own purse. Opening a door and saying something to the effect “what, no thank you?” People paying for dates and expecting action. IMO, true Chilvary is submissive. The other stuff in points 2/3 are manipul… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/06/26 06:59 AM |
| 4 | Chivalry is a submissive act.Where does the line draw between a submissive action and a non-submissive action for you? Chilvary is about being compliant with a cultural moral code. Blindly adhering to that and feeling gratification by doing so is subservient. Nearly half of the synonyms for submissive on Merriam sound like Chilvarous actions to me. They’re being obedient to follow these cultural norms and feel gratification by following the norms they were told to do by their culture. And then the synonyms for Chilvary foll… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/06/26 06:42 AM |
| 1 | Chivalry is a submissive act.Yes, to me, helping anyone who is capable of doing the task themselves is a submissive act. Submissive acts need not be sexual or “bad.” I think the whole idea of Chilvary (for any gender) is a submissive mentality | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/06/26 06:28 AM |
| 1 | Chivalry is a submissive act.I don’t think it’s obvious because a lot of the “super conservative types” I know also are positively vocal about “Chilvary”. They also would be very embarrassed to say they’re submissive. So they’re simultaneously hating on the idea of a “beta submissive” but are being submissive. (To be clear, I don’t think being submissive is bad) I work at mines, am at the top of my field, and the men from the mountain regions would speed walk so they could open my door to the truck and even audibly gasped w… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/06/26 06:27 AM |
| 1 | Chivalry is a submissive act.I don’t think it’s cringe to help people even if they aren’t actively unwell or incapable of the task? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/06/26 06:06 AM |
| 2 | Chivalry is a submissive act.I would make an educated guess that (for men who only do this for women, not other men) (1) men who were raised within their culture to do these things and likely were praised or scolded for doing/not doing the things do it mostly compulsorily. Maybe they get some gratification off of doing the “right thing” by their cultural standards. Could have sexual and non-sexual “praise kink” background if the woman thanks the man. (2) appear to be a reliable provider/service top to a (a) workmate or (b) … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/06/26 06:05 AM |
| 1 | Chivalry is a submissive act.At what point is there a difference for you between this “tradcuck” behavior and just being a nice guy? Is compulsory holding of doors for women specifically a “tradcuck” action in the modern day? But holding doors for anyone would be just “helping out/ not a tradcuck”? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/06/26 05:56 AM |
| 0 | Chivalry is a submissive act.I would argue that helping others is a non-sexual submissive act, and it is good that people are willing to help others. I am actively trying to determine my true logic gates on the definition of submissive here, and I appreciate your take on this. I think too many people see “submissive” as a bad thing. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 14/06/26 05:50 AM |
