Decent article on chivalry

I've always said that if I have kids I'm going to raise them to be courteous and polite to anyone, not just a certain gender. Hold doors open for anyone behind you, always offer your seat to someone who looks like they need it more than you, let someone else go first, but only because you're polite, not because you owe it to women as a man.

I feel like real chivalry should be used to make a specific person feel special or singled out. Treating that one person better than everyone else because they stand out from everyone else. I don't feel like it's something I should feel obligated to do for an entire gender.

To sum up the articel

Chivalry = bad

courtesy = good
