I was going to comment in the comments section, but refreshingly; there is no need.

Count me out

I won't admit chivalry is dead... because I haven't finished kicking it yet.

Call me crazy but I like to use "chivalry" to condition women to act like responsible adults.

When a woman acts like a fucking child, I don't do shit for her.

When a woman acts like a responsible adult and takes accountability for her actions and doesn't shit on the rights of men, yea I'll hold the door open for someone like that.

Yeah, no.

Women already get special treatment.

So they want yet MORE special treatment?

Favourite comment from that article:

Alternate headlines: "Let's Put the Toothpaste Back in the Tube" and "Let's Close the Barn Doors Now That All the Horses Have Run Away."

Sure, that sounds like a wonderful idea! But hey, while we're ahead, why stop at chivalry? Let's also bring back the death penalty for women convicted of committing adultery and revoke women's right to vote! You know, all of those great things that were also around during the times of "chivalry".

I wonder if she realizes that chivalry is a two sided coin. Just because you want to be treated like a princess doesn't mean men are going to go ahead and do it while you eat your never ending cake. Women had to submit to men and do as they were told in the past, not all men, just their man.

And I'm pretty sure only the wealthy did it. You never really hear stories or life events about the poor common folks who suffer day to day. Not even in modern day hollywood.

Chivalry eloped with feminism.

purplepowerpete · 2012-12-10T22:42:42+00:00

I don't mind the idea of chivalry and I try to be relatively chivalrous. The key is that women need to be women. Most men have the instinct to care for women, and along with this women are supposed to help and emotionally support men. Feminism has made so that Men get nothing out of being chivalrous to women so there in the end is no point to being chivalrous.

Chivalry is benevolent sexism. Being polite is where it's fucking at. Being a decent human being is great.

buster2209 · 2012-12-12T02:28:38+00:00

This is a problem that all women—especially feminists—should push back against

That's right, lets shame men into being more chivalrous... >rolleyes<

Crimson_D82 · 2012-12-11T07:05:53+00:00

chivalry = feeding trolls.

I had to consume that article in small chunks or i would drown in a deluge of crazy.
