I deserve it. Now get on your knees!👠

[Chaz269]

Well, we've eliminated the bar for women to be "ladies" so, no. But chivalry isn't really about who "deserves" what. It's important that parents are still teaching their kids courtesy and respect. In fact, it's important that we're all teaching kids courtesy and respect. This is how I know we're still doing okay: in my life I've had 3 people publicly berate me for holding a door for them, and that sucks. But I've had several young ladies hold a door for me. I'm old, but still quite able-bodied, so these were efforts of pure courtesy. That's a win as far as I'm concerned.

[SportsBrah]

Only the woman who births our children deserves it.

[SportsBrah]

Thanks for the MHO.

[samhradh_leannan]

It depends on what you mean by "chivalry" and what you mean by "deserve". In this day and age it should just be about basic politeness and consideration, and people of both genders deserve that.

[Vesuvius87]

When you said the word ''deserve'' that says it all. No one deserves anything from anyone.

Opening doors for others should already be basic manners.

[DinaM]

Isn't it better to just try and treat everyone decently regardless of which gender they are?

[Chaz269]

Indeed it is.

[Wraithguy]

Chivalry is part of southern etiquette.
Yes ma'am
No ma'am
As a child if we don't use it, often times we pick up our teeth off the floor.
I even call my nieces and nephew's sir or ma'am.
Holding doors goes hand in hand. I've been called weird as i would open my car door for my passenger.
I think there are inflextions than can be understood if the person giving the act is being legitimate or if they are doing it just to weasel what they want.

To answer your question. Deserving gives the thought of entitlement. Making it sound like I'm going against my will to do it.

There are some people who I feel I wasted it on but I'll do it for anyone. And if they want to be offended by it thats not my problem. I have other doors to hold for other greatful people.

[Wraithguy]

I would wear a shirt like this lol

[SnapTsch]

As @Volvagia said
No one is entitled to chivalry
Chivalry is the outcome of mutual respect and decency, since the third wave of feminism is so against men overall, it has led to most men being shat upon for being nice, thus almost killing chivalry.

Its a sad state of affairs but that's what extremism does.

[Kiran04]

Hell no. Modern women are the reason chivalry is dead. You don't get to call every man a cishet, white oppressor and then turn around the next day and expect him to pay for dates and open doors for you. Fuck that. Pay for your own damn food. You work. Spend your own money.

[InfoBot]

I think that people deserve a basic level of respect and courtesy until they prove otherwise. I don't worry about chivalry, I would hold the door open for anyone if I am exiting and they are entering (or vice versa). I don't see it as trying to win favour, it's just the decent thing to do.

Grand gestures designed to win favour are often far too contrived to demonstrate anything other than a paint by numbers approach and a cynical effort to appear more decent than you are.

[SirRexington]

My mom puts it like this, chivalry is not just for men to learn to be kind to women but to be compassionate and helpful to others. It teaches respect and simple etiquette. Something everyone should learn to be.

If my mom sees someone behind her regardless of race, age or gender it is courteous to hold the door open for them.

[ThatPersonOverThere]

Deserve? No. Nobody deserves anything.

If I see somebody behind me I hold the door regardless of their gender. I don't act chivalrous because a woman deserves it, I do it because thays the standard I hold myself to.

[logicalAnswers]

Everyone should treat everyone else with respect. Be kind, open doors, help out and so on. It had nothing to do with gender and skills be done because it's the right way to treat other people, not because of a gender or "deserving it".

[madhatters4]

yes. everyone deserves to experience chivalry. chivalry isn't specific to women and shouldn't be given or received only to and by women.

be courteous, be mannerly, be helpful to everyone

[just_wondering_01]

Finally a man who understands what chivalry truly is! Thank you

[madhatters4]

it's an all to common misunderstanding based on strange and ultimately incorrect 19th century and on concepts of gender roles

[ThreeSheetsToTheWind]

By definition it is specific to women.

www.collinsdictionary.com/.../chivalry

[madhatters4]

@ThreeSheetsToTheWind never heard of this dictionary. any you overlook the other definitions given which in nearly all other definitions are the first and also the original definitions

[ThreeSheetsToTheWind]

Collins is one of the main publishers of dictionaries in the UK. The OP appeared to be referring to the first definition given which is why I was going by that one.

[CT_CD]

I lol'd at the title of the question. 99% of modern women don't deserve chivalry. They sleep around, they cheat, they have entitled attitudes, etc..

Just read the womens responses on this question.
Girls: Have you ever cheated on your boyfriend? What made you do it? ↗

[Anonymous]

2/3rd of women say "YES, WE DESERVE PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT OVER MEN SOLELY FOR BEING WOMEN!" Yet they constantly harp on and on about "Male Entitlement". The hypocrisy is real...

[Namkrow]

Absolutely not. I can no more change people's behavior than I can throw them and with the way everybody is behaving these days, I hope more for for total nuclear annihilation than a girlfriend.

[sean1234]

That comment is as cold as a nuclear winter. Oh the irony.

[Namkrow]

I've been asked if there's a black hole where my heart should be and if there's ice water in my veins. Neither is true, but is true, but I'm not joking when I say I hate people.

[sean1234]

As for girls, I'm just stubborn and have bad luck. At any rate, I think country girls are nicer, on average anyways.

[Charleslvajr]

With the kind of behavior I've seen in the last 20 years from women in general, I only act out of courtesy, the same things I would do for a guy is what I'll do for a woman and nothing more.

[Leo3572]

Not all of them but some women still deserve chivalry from men. I want to keep some things from the old time like beeing a gentleman. I will always hold the door open for my girl.

[JustALonelySoul]

Well, I will start by stating that as a man, I will open a door or such for anyone, even someone I hate. While I don't believe in entitlement, I do believe in common courtesy and decency, and that involves what one would call chivalry.

[Classicallycool]

Everybody deserves it. Holding doors and genrally being nice isn't all that hard so i dont think its about who "deserves" it as everyone deserves being respected enough to be adressed with manners

[Anpu23]

"Deserve" no, chivalry is given as a gift. Common courtesy is expected, everyone deserves basic courtesy. Chivalry is a set of behaviors that gentlemen do as a learned behavior.

[YHL6965]

Too many women think they deserve chivalry because they have a vagina. If you want me to be a gentleman, be a lady then, not some basic bitch.

[Patrickjv]

Nahh many guys are plenty chivalrous already, sending pics of their unsheathed swords to women.

[boggboss]

Ahahahaha
