Girls do you have an equivalent of mannerbund/chivalry?

[Anonymous]

The mannerbund is a modern German word for an ancient Germanic cultural phenomenon. It is purely Germanic and has therefore no translation. The ancient Romans however called it Comitatus.

Mannerbund

The agreement between a Germanic warrior and his lord. Its an ancient predecessor chivalry. The Romans themselves had also such a thing called equites, which can only be translated to chivalry or knighthood.

Equites

These were noble warriors always on horseback. It is the equites that was transformed into chivalric orders which would train knights according to strict codes of honor.

Chivalry

Today chivalric behavior still exists but it is disappearing. Men are no longer disciplined and no longer adhere to strict codes of honor, men no longer aspire to nobility. Men know no duty towards the community. The mannerbund, equites and chivalric orders all existed to defend the community.

Modern chivalric behavior

Do women have an equivalent of chivalry and do women still want men to be chivalric?

[Berethor]

Most women are not ladies nowadays, so they don't deserve a man's chivalry.
