I think the feminist movement was absolutely necessary - bloody hell, look how long we were marginalised for!
BUT I don't think "militant" feminist attitudes do anyone any good (male or female). I think these hard core man bashers are the ones who have brought about the decline of chivalry.
But you men, don't be so complacent - chivalrous acts are still most welcome and appreciated by majortiy of women

There's too many issues in here for one question.
1) Paying for the dates doesnt win you any better treatment bud, take it from a woman who does. Sadly, it just often makes matters worse, they guys wind up thinking that the woman is desperate or something. Guys like paying for dates, it makes them feel important or something. I see again you (like so many men) are blaming women for men's laziness.
2) Oddly, I work on a large construction site in a small town with hundreds of men. They treat me with a great deal of chivalry AND RESPECT why? because THEY have class. The lack of chivalry present today has nothing to do with women (no matter how slutty), it has everything to do with men. You have a very negative outlook.
3) Oh and by the way, women can get equal pay WHEN THEY DEMAND IT! Sad, but too many women complain about being second-class citizens while doing nothing to change it. They stay at bullsh*t jobs and let it continue - just like they do with their stupid f*ckwit boyfriends. Complaining gets you nowhere.
4) However, you may be right about the humping men into submission thing. There's no point in that either, women will never get anywhere doing that. Chivalry is way more valuable than sex.

OK in some way I see your point of view. I feel that in a relationship it should be 50/50. But all of the equal rights movement never said anything about paying for a movie. Some guys who grew up under their mothers wings feel as if a lady should never pay. Where on the other hand some guys egos are way to big and they don't want to feel as if their girl should be paying for them. So sometimes it's not the girls fault if the guy always pays. Times have changed to because back then men paid for everything!

I am from the old school and have never changed how
I want to be treated by men , in the work place
on a date ,or at home for that matter .
How ever I can understand how you would feel
upset and confused over this . When I was
dating awhile ago they guys never
knew if they should open
the door for me or back off .
I,m sorry if I step on any womens toes but I
like to be treated like a lady used to
be treated by a gentelman .

companions. Soul pals or survivors? I have not have been given any theory. a woman provides a womb and care and nurturing. a guy provides you care and nurturing. the two often furnish the funds. women people often undergo the brunt of the financial fee on my own, so Farrell is out-of-touch. there is not any assure to maintain us merely as there is not any assure to maintain adult males. women anybody isn't addicted to ideals of chivalry. What precisely does chivalry ought to do with equivalent rights (secure practices, well being, training, financial opps)???? Do adult males extremely believe that the two can not co-exist? On what foundation? you like equality so I"m no longer likely to be superb to you anymore??? i myself under no circumstances have been provided that. If adult males dont desire to be well mannered, superb, gents (no longer all are, besides), it extremely is great via me. Chivalry does extra to sell clone of guy than it does to help women people at times, at times, chivaly is merely too formal, inconvenient and tiring. i'm embarrassed while a guy asks yet another guy to provide up his seat on the bus for me. extremely, persons, i'm no longer disabled. I additionally had a guy self-righteously yell at a homeless guy mendacity on the bench on the bus provide up - i could extremely have him relax there - i'm a huge recommend for the homeless. those 2 situations do no longer take my emotions into attention. it is not any longer that I dont get excitement from chivalry, yet extremely - i'm a human with emotions that merely dont continuously jive with chivalry.

I do pay for my boyfriend on most occasions actually - but that's because I have more money now, and he's in a bad financial situation. It's not about chivalry, it's about consideration, and helping out people you love. Soon he won't be in a bad financial situation, and if something were to happen to me, I'd expect the same kind of help FROM him, that I'm now giving TO him.
I don't want you to open the door for me, and I don't want you to give up your seat for me on a bus if it is crowded and I have to stand. I can stand just as well as any man, thank you. Some women DO want equal rights, but you probably subconsciously choose to surround yourself with girls who are like the stereotype you mentioned in the question - you want to confirm your view of women as unequal because it makes you feel good. And there are plenty of women who do want guys to pay for them all the time etc., but not all of us are like that.
To be honest I'm really sad to see the responses on here from girls who want equal rights when it meets their needs, but then want men to pay their way, etc. I don't like it at all.

O my goodness you are so right. We expect a man to pay for our dinner, but we want the equal rights when it comes to all the GOOD stuff. Not all women are that way, but I hear what your saying. We need to be independent or dependent, not whatever suits our mood or need at the time!

Women's equal rights was aimed at equality for voting, salary and job opportunities. It had nothing to do with being a gentlemen; and for some of us it still has nothing to do with it. Being a gentlemen is good manners.

Haha ok yeah women are retarded. We know it. But men are too. And they know it. Women just want respect. And so do men. People want respect. Let's just try that approach.
