"Chivalry isnt being weak"

It isn't? Could have fooled me...

Because feminism and weak men allowed the negative stereotypes to go unchallenged. Now we have "toxic masculinity"

Being a decent human being with a shred of reason isn't weak. Chivalry was a way to get men to serve women as servants and get nothing in return. It was weakness and simping at a previous point in time, just with a flowery name.

I understand your thinking and agree with it but nothing will change in day-to-day interactions with women until we lobby for a massive overhaul in policy and the courts.

The simple answer is that most men aren't motivated to call shit out when a woman can ruin your life or get your ass kicked in an instant by falsely accusing you of something. Even if you aren't convicted of anything a false accusation can have devastating effects that last for years or more. The worst of the worst women know this and use it to their advantage.

So it's much easier and safer to just mind your business and let people be ignorant. I would love to see a change but not many people are okay with being a martyr, even when it's for a worthy cause.

This behavior is going to be difficult to change, because it is unfortunately enforced by other men, often times with violence/the threat of violence.

Imagine a scenario where a woman is saying horrible things in public to someone you know and you tell her off. There's a decent chance another man will walk up and say, "You don't talk to a woman like that". And if you push it he might get physically confrontational. This type of behavior is all too common and it would be difficult to change, if it is even possible because its been so engrained in men's minds for so long.

Men are undermining themselves for the sake of female approval and to uphold some unfair BS code of conduct some man taught them at some point in their life, its extremely aggravating.

Those you put on pedestals will look down their noses at everyone.

how about treating women like everyone else?

no need for any special treatment

Why are we so afraid to call them out when they’re outright wrong and deserved to be called out, even hsrshly do ? Why do we let women throw tantrums, cuss at us, verbally abuse us, break items, or just act however they feel thinking there are no consequences?

Because it's literally all they have. The only thing that makes them feel important.

I treat everyone with curtesy and respect. I do not expect anyone to open my door or pull out my chair. If they do then I show appreciation to them. I don't think men should be held to a different standard. In a perfect world people could be kind to everyone.

Comes in, interrupts my explaining something to other people who are listening to me. I point this out and try to continue with my explanations.

"Why are you interrupting me?"
