Is chivalry dead?

Question

As the question states "Is chivalry dead?"

druciferre · Accepted Answer

It's not dead, but it's dying because of how easy it is getting for men to be accused of sexual harassment, and I think the feminist and LGBT movements are playing a role in its extinction. I think in the coming generations, the acts of chivalry will not simply be men performing them for women. It will evolve into people doing them for people in general. When I was a kid, I never saw a woman or even another man hold the door open for a man. Now I see it every day.

Chivalry is dead. And women killed it - Dave Chappelle

Maybe the real question is, are standards too high? Open the door for yourself. Pay half of the bill. Buy your own drinks. You are capable of taking care of yourself. Don’t expect it from strangers so much. But if they choose to give it, appreciate it & thank them. But do not let it go to your head honey.

Of course there will always be anecdotal evidence to prove the opposite but in a larger sense I would say yes. This most likely stemming from the technical advancement in the west that have made courting obsolete.

Nope, there are still some good gentlemen out there! You just need to get through all the weeds first 😂

I feel like this is a loaded question that does not have a simple answer.

HelloImClueless · Answer

Depending on the guy. You have some that still are chivalrous and will hold the door, get woman flowers and do other kind and respectful stuff for them. Then there are guys who are not that chivalrous and could careless. There are a few others, but chivalry is not entirely dead.

boggboss · Answer

Explain what u mean by it a lot of chivalry is just having respect and manners

Anonymous · Answer

I held the door open for two women in their early 20's and they said "thank you" instead of the usual glare from women my age. That 24-36 age bracket seem to be the worst for taking offense at good manners, even though men my age do it all the time for everyone, young, old, male, female, it isn't a flirt or an attempt to take away your voting rights or sexually assault you, the world doesn't revolve around you and you aren't owed a damn thing you haven't worked for. 😉

genericname85 · Answer

once upon a time women wanted to be equal. they slayed chivalry on their way there. now they are equal and mourn the sacrifices they had to make. women are a strange folk i will never fully understand.

Skyglz · Answer

No. Even if I'm just looking for sex, I'm not an asshole. I still try to be polite as possible (asking for consent and not trying to sway them a certain way). Its a part of my sympathetic mindset. No matter if I'm looking for a relationship or just a hook up I still treat girls with respect.

Daltron · Answer

It's hard to be chivalrous and not have a radical feminist breathing down ones neck. I made that mistake, acted chivalrous and the girl snapped, I simply faded into obscurity and never spoke to her again. I dodged a bullet there.

passinby · Answer

I question if it is legal anymore. Don't we need a waiver to make chivalrous gestures? I attended some mandatory SH training and chivalry is outright banned in it.

Patrickjv · Answer

For the fifth time, yes. Good thing too. Often you see these self-proclaimed gentlemen in the most anti-female enviroments.

lumberjack95 · Answer

Not completely, but mostly it is in the world. Same goes for girls today as well, common curtiousy is actually rare now driven out by selfishness, lust, and greed.

NeallyNeal · Answer

( Chivalry) It's not dead yet. It's still on life support with a faint heart beat. We need more gentleman with the proper upbringings in order for it to get a good bill of heath and receive its discharge papers.

JayParris · Answer

Lol. Many men still know how to be gentlemen. We reserve it for women with class. You don't throw pearls before swine. How many women know how to be ladies?

_乃尺OЩ刀_TITI · Answer

Which one? Following the code? Being a knight riding a horse? Living in the medieval ages era? or just the knit pick romanticised chivalry BS part?

SidKnee · Answer

Yea, but some parts of chivalry still remain. What chivalry stood for was a different Era and different social class. However the kind most people would want is for the most part still here. It's called a human decency 🤷‍♂️

Reyy78 · Answer

Nope, just rare and frowned upon. I'm about just finish spoiling my gfs and being a gentleman because I always end up feeling unappreciated.

DirtyOldCollegeBoy · Answer

It's "chivalry" when the man is hot and/or wealthy. It's "obsessive and creepy" when the man is not attractive. So, no, it's not dead. It's just for those with phenotypic privilege.

SamboJambo · Answer

All chivalry was is basically be nice and don't rape

Cythera · Answer

Maybe not everywhere. Here though, yes. It’s dead😩😢.

WhiteKite · Answer

Chivalry is shamed. It's all about equality now, when there's equality there is not chivalry because chivalry is not about being equal.

Anonymous · Answer

Its not completely dead yet, but you approach a girl or open door for her and she be like "I can drive too and can open my door", and we be not doing these things for others, although it was never our intention to humiliate them, some girls always thinks the worst and some of guys stop doing these little things of affection.

krowlordz · Answer

Chivalry was a tradition of combat, where someone is gonna die, I think it's more than dead, and knights never treated women like how movies and stuff will have you to proceed

Andrewlongguard · Answer

Well kinda of. Guys try to be too nice and become aggressive if they don't get rewarded for it or are just asshole, ofcourse I'm generalize.
