Why Feminists Should Support the Return of Chivalry

Proctor was on an elevator when a young woman stepped on. He tipped his hat to her, and she bristled, asking, "What is that supposed to mean?"

The pastor's response was: "Madame, by tipping my hat I was telling you several things. That I would not harm you in any way. That if someone came into this elevator and threatened you, I would defend you. That if you fell ill, I would tend to you and if necessary carry you to safety. I was telling you that even though I am a man and physically stronger than you, I will treat you with both respect and solicitude. But frankly, Madame, it would have taken too much time to tell you all of that; so, instead, I just tipped my hat."

Why would anyone want a return to this nonsense?

feminism thrives on chivalry.

look at all the women specific programs enacted by governments, this is chivalry defined.

Chivalry eloped with feminism.

I think it would still be best if we didn't treat genders differently, yea it does a lot of good but it promotes the thinking that men and women are different on a societal level. Which i guess we are, but that limits freedom in a way.

I never really saw chivalry as being condescending, more about treating people with respect. Both sexes should be chivalrous towards each other, you open the door for me, and I'll open it for you. You scratch my back I'll scratch yours.
