Chivalry never died the gentlemen in most men did. Being a male is a matter of birth,being a man a matter of age,but a gentlemen is a matter of choice!

I feel that there is definitely a shortage of gentlemen in this society. My guy friends tell me it is because of the feminist movement. Do you believe that to be true?

WEll...Hellllooo I'm Teebee


Someone's going to come along and ruin my high from your wonderful words!

Well said..

i definitely hope that most guys would choose to be a gentleman instead of being just a man's man.

And just like that... All the women love you, hahaha!
Well said, sir! **bows**

Get out of tha way, Tee!


This one might be worth a fight

When that hard core feminism crap first started up, being a gentleman was treated as a threat.

It didn't stop me from holding doors or helping old folks put their groceries in their cars.

I'm teaching my anchor brat how to be a gentle-man without losing his manliness.

Chivalry is men treating women like they are weak and inferior, I thought we all wanted to be equals?

The Knight's Code of Chivalry was a moral system that stated all knights should protect others who can not protect themselves, such as widows, children, and elders.

High ruined

I don't want to be equal to a man,, I want to be AS IMPORTANT As a man while being a WOMAN


I think doing for others is not a sign of thinking they are weak, its a sign of appreciation,, I cook for my grown son, he certainly isn't weak,, but I appreciate him,,, I would go to the store for my father, who wasn't a weak man, but I appreciated him

chivalry , like most things, is a matter of perspective,, but I consider it one way for men to show APPRECIATION of women,,,,

or we can call it being a gentleman, if chivalry is not correct terminology

but its nice to be appreciated,, whatever its called when it manifests in others,,

I'm old fashioned and a modern woman at the same time. I have learned to be independant and had no choice in the matter as I didn't have a knight running to my rescue.

There seems to be so much bitterness between women and men as they try to find their positions in this game of life.

Personally I think we should all meet in the middle and consider ourselves equal and share as a couple without thinking one is better than the other or one is less than.

BTW..Does anyone know anything about this? My mother once told me that Jesus WAS actually married to Mary Magdalene but was kept secret from us to know' Also women in Biblical times did have alot of say and clout..that is also kept from us in the scriptures. If this is true..then who was it that changed this?

I have heard rumor of Jesus being married, I don't believe it to be true as it would have interfered with his calling

I also was never taught that women didn't have say or clout in the bible,,,I always knew they did,,, I think people who don't read the bible much have started the idea that women were meaningless doormats,,

The Qur'an refers to women as having less value than cattle .

IT also teaches women need regular whippings and some even practice clitoral mutilation.

So true.

"chivalry" love it. General Custer ! Little big horn. The rattling og sabres.great

It all comes down to how you interpret it

This is a complete miss-understanding of chivalry. Chivalry recognizes that women have certain strengths and men have certain strengths and making one compliment the other by one leveling the playing field when it is unequal due the strengths of one gender.

How is protecting widows, children and elders a bad thing?
