Do YOU think it is dead as a person living in a vast society where rules always get broken?
Is chivalry really dead?
Not totally but somewhat.
A friend of mine once got yelled at and labeled a sexist because he held the door open for a woman who had her hands full
@unbreakable_fs4: lol, my friend yells at me too for doing that.
No, it won't die unless people want it time unless people want it to.
It's not supposed to be rewarding, it's supposed to be the done because it's the right thing to do.
Nah, why let a few ingrates spoil it for the rest of us?
I don't get offended if someone pulls out my chair or holds a door, but then I don't expect it either and am pleasantly surprised when it happens. Am just as likely to do it for someone else though. Not really interested in the gender of the person doing it, and don't find it patronising in the slightest. It's just good manners. And really, when you get offended by good manners, what have you become? O__o
@superguy1591: Exactly. Not sure why some females view it as insulting when a male does something like that out of the kindness of his heart. Thankfully, most I've encountered are not like this.
@unbreakable_fs4: "passive" sexism is what I've been told.
@superguy1591: Yep and if the roles were reversed and a woman is the one holding the door for the lady that had her hands full, I'm sure she would have never been offended.
A lot of women say chivalry is dead, thing is, if you opened your mouth like this, in the time period where chivalry was strongly followed , you would probably be struck for opening your mouth . They also would probably have to be a virgin or consider yourself shamed and a whore. And being nice to women isn't the definition of chivalry, so yes it's dead.
By today's standards is it dead? No not at all, the women who deserve it get it.
I still do stuff like that or at least I try. I don't expect anything in return, I just do it. Most people I know are like that too.
If a woman is offended that you're holding a door open for them, slam it in their face, kick them down and then threaten to rape them and keep them in your basement, tell them that story about those woman in foreign Muslim countries who are forced to marry their rapists and be their second wives, and how their families disown them and how they are shamed, then start laughing maniacally and say that you are just joking, to make a point how her life is so much more damn easier so she should shut up and appreciate what she has because things could be worse, and she should stop wasting her time about mundane and trivial things like Tumblr and Feminism and appreciate that she has equality and that if she wants some more, you will be more than obliged to stick more equality right up her %&^$^$% then laugh again loudly and say how you are just joking and just making a point then slam the door against her ankle so that ^&%^ has a long hard think about your wise words of wisdom as she limps back to fancy, expensive, car her daddy (and not her transdad, her actual male dad) brought her.
@bumpyboo: you're a trap? O_o

No hehe, I didn't mean it like that! :)
Although good for you, that sounds awesome. Why not, right?
Chivalry is like 20% respecting women and 80% swordfight or gunfight techniques.
@bumpyboo: very awesome indeed!
Pretty much. If you try to be polite and open a door for a feminist, even if that's something you'll do for anyone, she will throw a fit and whine about the patriarchy. Like children. Good job, feminists. This is what female empowerment has come to: whining like a child.

So your oppression doesn't get triggered when I member of the Evil Patriarchy makes a display of toxic masculinity in front of you by holding a door open for you with his cis white male hands ?
