Is chivalry really dead? :(

One can only hope.

Can't have chivalry and equality at the same time, so yes it's dead or at the least almost dead.

I don't believe its dead, my hubby still opens the door for me and always unlocks my door for the car first.. :}

Oh good heavens, no.
But it might be close.
You wouldn't believe how shocked some women are when I insist on paying for their meal (even if it's not a date), open the door for them, allow them to go first, do the heavy lifting, etc.
I think it's dying in Europe a lot quicker than it is here in the USA, though.

I find chivalry offensive.

equality and chivalry are both fallacies.

Gawd, I hope not. :sad:

I sure hope not. I like when my man treats me like a lady!

The more sandwiches and sweaters she makes, the more chivalrous I am.

I guess I fail to see the conflict between chivalry and equality.

Chivalry is a way of treating people...

Equality is allowing people an equal opportunity for achievement.

Men who hold back chivalry in the name of equality do so out of holding a grudge, or because they don't like showing respect to women in the first place.

But that's just my opinion.

It's not, however, the appreciation of chivalry is dying a horrible death.

Interesting. Are you saying that females don't recognize and appreciate chivalry as often as they should?

Depends on the female. I am honestly not really going to get into this topic because as we all know, gender talk will rustle jimmies.
