Is Chivalry dead? [Mar. 26th, 2008|03:09 pm]

I just read a posting on a message board where a member posted the question: "Is Chivalry dead?" There was about 4 pages of responses so far. The responses are about equal between women and men. Some say that chivalry is dead because it’s modern times and women are no longer inferior to men. Others have said that chivalry is still alive and well. I agree with what Dave Chappelle has said about chivalry in his stand up special "Killin’ Them Softly": "Chivalry is dead.......and women killed it." LOL. There’s plenty of times where I held opened doors for ladies and got no response...not a smile or anything. I do it because I was taught to be a gentleman. Being a gentleman these days ain’t what it’s cracked up to be, but that’s another story for another time, lol. There has been times where I wanted to say something to those ladies that don’t say thanks, but I just don’t say anything and keep on pushin. It’s just one of those things that had me thinking today. I know that I’m going to continue to do what I do. I know I wont get a lot of "thank you’s" or "that’s so kind" from women around my age when being chivalrous, but I know that the older, wiser women appreciate the gesture.....and that’s alright with me. :-)
