Chivalry, I am happy to note is not dead, as some men still open doors for women, hold the door open for the next person, offer and insist on carrying bags for the fairer sex, pull out the chair for us to sit, and the list goes on. Many women, like me, enjoy being treated like ladies by real gentlemen.
However, some male friends have commented that on some occasions when they had opened doors for women, they were looked upon with suspicion! Sad, is it not? Do you have a similar story to tell?
Is this emphatically knightly virtue being eroded by the dog eat dog world we now live in where the fittest continue, leaving no place for even the simplest of common courtesy?
Please take note that neanderthals need not bother answering this question. Thank you.
