In reply to Bruno Fluzão. That's exactly what I say in this post, Bruno. :) The problem with typical examples of chivalry is that it's always the man being chivalrous. Neither gender "owes" the other anything, but as humans, we have the responsibility to be civil and chivalrous to everyone, regardless of gender. Thanks for reading!

Men owe women nothing!

chivalry is really not compatible with gender equality. We can have one or the other, but not both. And ultimately, it may be best if the sexes tried to help each other, rather than expecting that men be the protectors and benefactors of women.

Men owe women nothing!

“women shouldn’t be forced into a certain role, but we have expectations of men” . Its not equality!
Equal rights!

I think you’ve pretty much nailed it. It’s polite to hold doors. It’s called be a decent human being and applies to all of us.

In reply to Kasi Zlochevski. Exactly! We might need to use a different word, but the idea should be extended to both genders. :)
