According to Dave Chappelle, chivalry has BEEN dead, and women killed it. I guess stronger women will have to replace it..

"chivalry" and the title "gentlemen" are somewhat synanomous. Chivalry, to me, reminds me of medival times when men wore armor and that was in storybooks, novels, dramas of old. Over the years my first response when a guy says something nice I would say "you're a fine gengleman"...and soooooo many men would respond "I"m no gentleman". So I'd walk away from them. But see, even men since the 1960's don't want to be thought of as a gentleman. I remember in the 1950 men would open doors and such and never gave it a second thought, it was etiquette, they were trained to do that and they did it. But in the 1960's a guy would open the car door and then say "this is my first and last time I'm going to do this for you, you're hot helpless". So I think this attitude men took on made respect for women die. So maybe a man should answer that question about "what will replace it". I know if women wanted it revived they would go back to using etiqutte and insist that men use etiquette. I think lazy men, divorces and technology is what changed the attitudes.

If you look at the history of chivalry it was created after a time of chaos in which men were constantly at war and women were put into an ever increasing amount of positions of power.
Chivalry was created specifically to put men in charge of how a relationship develops and take away a woman power by putting all of the power into the man's hands. He pays the bills; he decides where and when you go on a date, he opens the door not because he respects you but because you're a woman, he asks you out. See a pattern here?
When chivalry dies men and women will start listening to each other more and do things for each other because they care; not because of a social code. Equality cannot exist when you treat one portion of a population differently then another.
Most of the problems currently being faced around the world that come down to differences between gender will vanish when chivalry finally dies and people start thinking for themselves rather then doing things because they're expected to.

Equality will happen. If you respect others as human beings, and not just because they have certain genitalia, you'll be on equal footing. I don't want a man to hold a door open for me when my arms are full just because I'm a woman, I want a door held open because I'm a fellow human in need of a hand.

Chivalry will never die; there are guys out there that like to treat a woman like a human being and not a sex toy.

Chivalry only died because men decided it was too much effort. If they can't get a piece of a** out of it, then they aren't going to bother.

Feminists killed it and the only thing left is evil so women will either be ignored or staked and raped.
