In your opinion, is chivalry dead? Give your definition of chivalry while you're at it. Mine is the courtly ideas of love (really everything feminism attacks)

I voted it is not dead, but it is on life support. Feminism has made it very confusing to be a man. I'm still not sure what to do in a social situation with women, and even more confused in a business environment. Do I open the door for the woman and let her go first because she is a woman, or do I treat her like I treat my male counterparts, ie sometimes I hold a door for them and sometimes they hold a door for me.

I dunno that it's dead. It does have periods where it's ill though.

But there will always be gentlemen.

I wouldn't say it's dead, per se...

However I will say that it's getting mighty hard to find a woman who actually deserves it.

Chivalry died because women demanded too much, in my opinion. Treat her like a queen as well as an equal, without being a king. Tall order.

yes it is.
Feminatzi's have killed it. They want womens rights, and all that crap yet they will still bitch when a guy doesn't open a door for them. :|
I am not saying women should go back to the kitchen everyday with her pearls and apron, but there is a happy medium as well.

it is too bad. Chivalry was a wonderful thing.
PS, i am sure it is still out there, just in smaller quantities.

Your asking a forum of geeks if Chivaliry is dead? That is like asking a fat person if being fat is attractive...the majority will say yes because they need it to be. :beer:

My friend's girlfriend is taking a feminism class.

I hold the door open to oppress her.

Well I still open doors for everyone, lead the girl down the stairs, follow the girl up, and stand on the street side, etc. But all that is bs.

I generally act chivalus (wow, spelled that wrong), but it can also depend on the woman. One of the most annoying things about my mother is that she *expects* a man to open a door for her. She will stop and stand there like an idiot until someone opens it for her. Therefore, I do not *ever* open a door for her. I simply will not do it for a woman that is 1) a total bitch or 2) expect it.
