While the word “chivalry” may have been put to rest as gender roles have changed, I think what was gained is ultimately greater than the concept of chivalry. Knowledge.
Chivalry enforces behaviors that define the proper “male” and “female” roles in the relationship. But I can’t help but think these roles are a little bogus. Because you are a man, you are not ONLY strong, heroic and noble. In fact, you may not nessecarily be any of those things. You may actually enjoy the arts. And women are not all helpless, weak and innocent. Chivalry implies that those rigid gender roles are still in place and when theyre just not anymore. We’re not as uninformed as our ansestors, who thought women were good for a set of things and men were good for a set of things and the two couldnt intermingle. because people aren’t really like that. because were not that black and white. Am I less of a woman because I decide I want to use my brain instead of ignore that I have one? Are you less of a man because you can appreciate art?
It’s considered chivalrous for a man to pay for a woman’s meal if they are out on a date. and you know what, if a man decides that he would like to pay for my meal when we are on a date, I would think that was very sweet of him. but for me to go in to that, expecting that he is going to do that for me, is sort of the same as a man expecting that because I am a woman, I am not equipped to work for the same company as him. Turns out, women can hold their own in a lot more apparati than what was believed when the concept of chivalry came about. and I’m not challenging that there are things that men are better at than women, as there are things that women are better at than men. but I would much rather have a man buy me dinner, knowing that I could pay for my own, but because he wants to treat me–rather than a man pay for my dinner because an outdated concept told him he had to.

Chivalry is dead. It died when women wanted to be on an even keel with men in the workplace, so when I hold a door open for a woman and get a dirty look because I am demeaning them, I just shrug. You wanted equality, well, carry your own heavy load, ladies, because that is what it means. You can’t look down on men who don’t relinquish their seats and still expect to be called equals. I relinquish my seat for the elderly and the pregnant or disabled, (someone in discomfort) etc. I am not going to stand for a woman to sit just because she is a woman. You can’t pick and choose when chivalry applies.

I still open the door, for people, I still show respect, for people. Respect is what is dying, not some outdated code between knights and lasses. Where does the lack of respect stem? That should be your next article.

In short, Chivalry is not Respect. There is a huge lack of respect in this country, and it exists because people are afraid to stand up and shame others. If someone cuts me in line at the deli, I don’t care what gender, age etc. they are, they are going to get the brunt of my disgust.
