Is Chivlarly dead?

[dkwrtw]

No, I am not and I expect everybody to be like that (and perhaps that's the reason many people hate me!! Let them!)

Answer me this Mazzikens, have you ever, even one time in your life done something that you believe to be wrong? If the answer to that question is yes(which it is whether you will admit it or not) then you are a hypocrite.

 

[KimmyCharmeleon]

It was not I tried to turn this into a debate Kimmy.

Haha I totally forgot this is in the debate section lol.

Be nice!!

Courtesy can go both ways - man does a nice thing for woman; woman does a nice thing for man.
Chivalry however, is only man does a nice thing for woman. Chivalry is courteous.

You mean a woman cannot be 'chivalrous' though at the same time she could be 'courteous'??
I think some women are more chivalrous (bold, brave, courageous, courteous, loving, caring, etc etc) than men..
who still hold on to the old custom set by the fictional Don Quixote!

Depends if you think being 'chivalrous' is adhering to the old style or our contemporary style.You might be able to argue that a woman could be chivalrous as in that she is like the man in the medieval times who possesses brave, courageous, courteous traits. But still, back then, women weren't thought of to be any of those things.
Chivalry does not fit our contemporary style either because it's still only specific to a male. A woman cannot be 'a man performing courteous behaviour towards a woman'.

that's personal... i won't say I am an angel.
Talk about yerself, boy, the gals here are getting irritated!!

As Kimmy said the old custom is men-specific I would drop it and rest my statement here!

 

[mazHur]

Yes, and it can mean something as simple as not arguing in a thread where women are disussing chivalry...lol

chivalry??

women are courageous, they're courteous loving and caring.......but the word chivalry describes a mans courteous behavior towards a woman.

Well Mazzzzzzzzzzzzyyyyyyyyyyyyy I was not the one who started this argument, you've ruined a good thread with your Tomfoolery little brother.

 

[KimmyCharmeleon]

Exactly. I'm trying to find a term that describes 'women's courteous behaviour towards men' but there is none I'm afraid

 

[sexysadie]

Why do I feel as if we're discussing who's penis is bigger rather than the issue at hand?!?!

We're discussing whether or not it still exists in the 21st century....if you're not clear on the definition then you should perhaps look it up.

Ohhhhhh god I'm tired...lol

 

[KimmyCharmeleon]

Yes it exists in the 21st century, just in a different form. I'll show you an interesting article from the newspaper I bought yesterday...

 

[sexysadie]

Exactly. I'm trying to find a term that describes 'women's courteous behaviour towards men' but there is none I'm afraid

I think it may be under childcare...lol

I don't think there is a word for it, make one up Kimmy.

In 1910:

• laying a coat over a puddle
• paying for dinner
• pulling out a chair
• carrying heavy bags
• seeing a girl home safely
• helping her put her coat on
• opens and closes the car door

In 2010:

• sending regular text messages
• posting loving messages on Facebook
• caring for her when she's hung-over
• cooking her a meal
• uploading songs to her iPod
• filling her car with petrol
• letting her watch her favourite soap

Why?
Women do:

1. 7 hours caring for children
2. 3 hours paid work
3. 4 hours of household chores
4. 10 hours of leisure/sleeping

Men do:

1. 3 hours caring for children
2. 6 hours paid work
3. 2 hours of household chores
4. 13 hours of leisure/sleeping

Speaks for itself.

Edit: statistics might apply to Australia only. After all, our husbands are ranked worst in the world.

well I have no statistics to back that up, and I've never been to Australia so I have never observed any Australian families so I can't say what it's like there, but based off my observations here a lot of husbands are pretty lousy lol.
