Ladies, have you ever been on a crowded bus or train, coming home from work, and you notice that there several men sitting down while there are twice as many women standing. Doesn’t it piss you off? It does me. I hate to say this but chivalry is dead. Gone are the days when the men would hold the door open for us. Gone are the days when a man would give up his seat for a woman on a train or a bus. Guys will almost knock a woman down trying to beat her to a free seat.

Some guys will say that when women demanded to be treated like equals that chivalry died at that very moment. But it did not. That just became an excuse for some men to try a little less. To not feel guilty when they do not treat a woman with respect, etc. They can always fall back on the excuse that women wanted to be treated equally so they are giving us what we wanted. Respect does not disappear just because equality was discussed.

Then there are the women who do not even expect to be treated with respect or like a lady so they do not demand it. They have never experienced it so they have no desire for it or expectation of it. Then there are some women that feel that demanding to be treated like a lady would make them appear to be weak, as if they cannot take care of themselves. I’m here to say that you do not know what you are missing! If he wants your time, then he should act like it matters.

Here is an added twist… Since chivalry is dead for most men and women, shouldn’t June Cleaver also die? If some men do not feel the need to be chivalrous towards women, then should they expect for her to perform the typical womanly duties such as cleaning and cooking and catering to them? My message to these type of men is that June Cleaver died the day after Chivalry did.
