lol this is fun ny cause i was just talking about this same thing with my g/f today...

this is also sad because chivalry is basically thie pity a man shows for a woman...

chivalry is outdated for the time and life rolls we now live...

if man and women are turely equal (don't get me wrong I want them to be) then a woman should be able to take care of herself...

chivalry is for a time when women aren't respected.. where women don't have money of their own... where men dont' think women are smart enough to have their own jobs, strong enough to lift things for themselves and are basically considered only good as a servant. When women held this roll, men would always open the doors for them... protect them from anything and always pay. but they weren't considered equal... they were considered lower class then men.


i kinda hate to use this analogy but have you ever worked with a mentally handicapped person?...

basically you do everything for them... if you're getting into a car you go around and open their door, help them in and close it for them... you pay the bill for them if you're out a restaurant.. no matter how stupid anything they say sounds you still act like it's really interesting and you overcongradulate them on anything they do... hmm... replace the words mentally handicapped with woman and it s sounds to me a lot like chivalry..

but do you respect this handicapped person?.. do you think they're your equal?

this for me basically comes down to equal rights... if you want to be treated equal then you have to act like an equal and not have things done for your..

in the business world if you go and tell your boss that you want to be his equal and have all the same things he has then you're going to have a lot of extra work involved in it.. no one is just going to hand you these extra things and expect you to do the same work you're doing today... why should it be any different for women?

if women want to be treated the same as men are then they're going to need to step up, be a man and take care of themselves...

don't get me wrong. I respect women and want equal rights...

if the titanic sunk today with women having equal rights... do women and children get on the boat first...

..teenagers?

Geno admit it...the reason you didn't take it is because you have no respect for women and still haven't figured out how to add and subtract...

I know some of you guys will come along and answer. Most likely Tamed, Muck and Golddog. I am most assured these three know what being a gentleman is all about.

The Broad-Stone of Honour, Kenelm Henry Digby offered the following definition: "Chivalry is only a name for that general spirit or state of mind which disposes men to heroic actions, and keeps them conversant with all that is beautiful and sublime in the intellectual and moral world."

This might explain why Ensano has a problem with chivalry....

[Phil14312]

With equal rights comes equal responsibility.

























Bitches.

Chivalry is all well and good until some girl gets her panties in a knot over the fact that she "can do things herself". Of course, when there is something heavy to carry or a shitty job to do that she doesn't fancy, suddenly she is "just a girl" again and it is the man's job. And what do we do? Exactly as we are told because we are all about the poon. They know they hold all the power! Snakes with tits all of them

[xDiamond_CutteRx]

This thread has potential... to get you all in a lot of trouble.

[Ensano]

Snakes with tits all of them

i'm getting the sence that Geno has some issues

[Kemics]

its all about selected equalism

i completely agree with Ensano


p.s don't tell my girlfriend, she studies feminist law

This quiz is really stupid. Being Chivalrous gains you nearly nothing with women these days. Get chicks to buy the drinks. Play hard to get. Make girls nervous and giddy. We are in the age of gender reversal, my friends.

...bahahahah..some of you might be in an age of gender reversal but I know my gender hasn't reversed. I am still male... .

You Sir, if your gender has reversed...all I can say is at 6'4" your going to look like Phil Gordon in drag (thats not a pretty site but it is damn sure funny)...

[exit music]

I'm waaaay prettier than Phil Gordon.
