Is chivalry dead?

Chivalry a : marked by honor, generosity, and courtesy b : marked by gracious courtesy and high-minded consideration especially to women

It seems things like opening the doors for ladies and stuff to the nature of respect seems to get you a weird look these days. Is it not a good thing to try to be nice these days?

    *rolls eyes* i think most of what you're seeing as chivalry is just sleaze masquerading as respect. Chivalry applies to all women, right? So for a man to be chivalrous, he has to be chivalrous to all women, not just the ones he wants to nail in the stinktube. Forget about you. Does he open the door for your grandmother?

    (also i agree with 9. chivalry and equality are mutually exclusive)

        I think it's just the way "honor, generosity, and courtesy," are shown that has changed. Although, I do still see and experience door holding if it's not out of the other person's way...
