I hate chivalry.
I believe in being nice to ALL people, regardless of their gender or whatever. Obviously it doesn't always pay off...but yeah. I hate chivalry on the fact that it's just kindness to women, and almost treating them like they're inferior and helpless. It just...bothers me.

I only help out women if I feel they need help(IE: They have their hands full and need a door opened, etc). but I guess I do that for men, as well.

Not really, I'm just polite to everybody regardless. Though even I was I wouldn't pride myself on it, I'd just do it. Being nice to others should be the norm.

Holding doors and being polite are for everyone. Walking nearest the curb, (more about getting splashed than stopping a car in my opinion) standing up when she approaches and leaves the table, and offering my jacket are generally reserved for when I am in the company of women.
Is it because I think women aren't capable of taking care of themselves? No, not at all. But in my experience even the most independent woman appreciates these things when they aren't done in a chauvenistic mocking way.

I still do decent things for people if I like them.

Well when I'm around my women friends at college, I always try to hold the door for them, and of course really nice to them. I'm that type of person that just can't hurt women or try to do mean things to them.

Right idea wrong verbage. Try saying, "I'd like to walk closer to the curb in case something happens. That way I'll know you'll be safe." I see what you're saying, but like a 160lb dude is really gonna stop a car from hurting the girl standing 2 inches away from him. I can stop a speeding car..........No, the idea is so when a car or horse and buggy run thru a puddle, she doesn't get wet.

to quote dave chapelle chivalry is dead, and women killed it True dat. I have always been a gentleman. It's just how I was brought up. But when I hold a door open for someone (male or female), it doesn't have to mean anything but I am trying to be courteous to them. But, in the past, I have had some women say things like, "I can get the door for myself!" "I don't need a man to do anything for me!" Blah blah blah. I'm usually left blankly staring at them thinking, "Just walk through the door you smurfing idiot!!" So, it depends.

I try to be respectful, no matter if they have a clit or not. I dated a woman without a clit once. Well, she said she was a woman, anyway. Although, come to think of it, "her" name was Fred. And she had an awfully big penis..... Goddammit.....

To quote Eliza Dushku from "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back", I act like Lord Byron way too many times. you hold bisexual orgies with other famous authors and their barely-legal spouses and write bad poetry?
