They would always say "Chivalry is Dead". Gone are the days when women will really have the benefit of being treated like women by men in terms of being given due respect. In an overloaded bus, the sitting men will not mind seeing a women standing beside them. They have been used to this anyway! The "Ladies First in a long queue, does not hold water anymore. Who cares, we all did our best to to be the first one to be served here so why we men would give way to women???

I am kinda blessed to be with an organization who treats women with respect and love. Whenever we have gatherings, our men would gladly stand to give their seats to women and would sacrificially wait till all the women have gotten their share of food before the men queue for their turns. At least I would say, after all..Chivalry is not totally dead!!!

How about you, do you think we really have to follow "Ladies First" even in some special circumstances???

It isn't that chivalry is dead, it is that equal rights screwed it. Ladies first has not been an issue since this whole, we want to be equal with men thing. If any woman gets up set because a man didn't open a door for her or didn't let her go first. She may need to look and see, if she is a working woman she gave up her right to be treated special because of her gender.

I like to see ladies first type things happen. I still see a lot of people doing the simple things like opening doors for women. I am a Southerner which is probably where it is most alive still in the US. When I am in my hometown which is smaller I see it often. I live in a larger city, and I don't see it as much while in town. For the most part though, you can still tell that women are highly respected around here. People don't go way out of their way to open car doors and things like that anymore, but women are well respected and rarely have to open their own doors.

I find it a sign of good manners & politeness when a man holds open the door for me. It makes me feel as if chivalry is not dead & there are still some men in this world who know how to treat a woman. Thank goodness I married one of them.

Women started hollering equal rights which is great but they carried it to the specialness of how men treated women. Lord help a man if he opens a car door for a women. I have seen a women look at a man and inform him that she is perfectly capable of opening her own door. That there is nothing wrong with her hand. I felt sorry for the man because he was just trying to be nice. I also have seen women get all over a guy for pulling a chair out for them. I don't blame guys for not doing that. If they are going to get jumped all over for doing these things than I wouldn't do them either. I feel for the guy. Is "Chivalry Dead" No it is not dead women have just shot it all to pieces. And let the corpse lay there.


myLot reputation of 93/100. salonga (3456)   ranked 1,416 out of 29,285 in life  5 months ago

I believe not all women do, many women like I myself and many others still feel elated that men open the car door or any door for them and a man pulling a chair for a woman is still very much appreciated and welcomed. Well, in a way there are women as you've said who do not feel like me and I am sorry for them.

In our community our brothers do the same things that you have said..during our meetings they will let sises have their chairs if they see them standing, help us in carrying heavy things,allow us to eat first,assists us in going down from a high place..i can really say that there are still some left behind..^_^ I think this a natural thing for women..we are treated special..


myLot reputation of 93/100. salonga (3456)   ranked 1,416 out of 29,285 in life  5 months ago

Yes! there are still many men who treats women as they should be. It's natural for women to feel elated when treated the special way! thanks for your thoughts.

I agree with you that these days, men are no longer following the "LADIES FIRST"... They don't care whether the women are standing in the bus or falling line at the back.. Since the new policy these days is "FIRST COME FIRST SERVE".. Don't care whether your a women or men.. Only those who consider themselves as a "GENTLE MAN" who respect/ believe about the "LADIES FIRST"..


myLot reputation of 93/100. salonga (3456)   ranked 1,416 out of 29,285 in life  5 months ago

Yes Kissie you are right and I am glad there are still men who treat ladies with gentleness and respect.
