Thanks for posting this article. Chivalry is not totally dead...for the most part, conservative men tend to be the most gallant and courteous towards women. I was just at a Republican event in Sacramento a couple of weeks ago. I did a double take when two...very young...gentlemen opened the door for me and still a few others in the room stood up when I entered. I looked around wondering why they were standing...then I remembered. Apparently, the local Young Republican Club had a couple of meetings about good manners and they took it to heart. Pretty cool, I say.

In this day and age women want to be men fine....don't give up your seat because we would not wish to offendWhere in my post did I even hint that I would be offended by a man offering me his seat? Or that I wished to be a man? I appreciate your frustration, but perhaps you should direct it elsewhere.

A totally unwatchable movie, never made more then a few minutes into it[my girls had a tape of it and it seemed to be always on] especially with that half man/boy Leonardo in it.If I want to see a good film version of it I will watch the one with Barb Stanwyck. My point exactally .. that's why I the only thing I watched was Dicrappio dying, it actually made me laugh.

I wonder if the stories of men being chewed out for holding a door or offering a seat to a woman are true.They are. It's happened multiple times to me.
(OTOH, I am in California)...

My reply to the request "don't call me ma'am" is always "yes ma'am." Kill 'em with kindness.A puzzled look followed by "yes... uh... sir?" is sometimes worth the risk.
But again, I'm in California, and sometimes it is a guy...

The titantic was a flesh wound to chivalry... soon to be eclipsed by the collapse of the value of human life in the trenches, which made possible the dark valley of the 20's and 30's.

You like gray hair on a woman? How 'bout if it's on her chest? :P

Imagine a luxury liner sinking into artic waters with too few lifeboats for its passengers. Who would get those seats? White Christian males wouldn't. they'd be run over by everyone else and called every -ist in the book if they did get off.

Rofl! I wasn't expecting such a clever answer! BTW, I'll give my gramma a call and tell her your interested. She just turned 100 in Feb! :)
Too ba, but I think the article is right and it's such a shame. Seems no one puts any stock in honor and duty anymore.
It's become the "me" generation. And that goes for women as well as men!

Is it true that commissioned military officers are no longer officially recognized as "officers and gentlemen"? Is "conduct unbecoming an officer and gentleman" still a generally cited regulation in military courts?
The last time I heard chivalry mentioned in public affairs, it was Colin Powell's statement in Gulf War I that to continue the destruction of the Iraqi troops would be unchivalrous.
Of course, this passes over the problem that chivalry has no exact counterpart in Islam outside of Romantic poetry.

I lived three years in CA and had no such experiences. But then I was in comparatively conservative Sacramento, not LA or the Bay Area.

My reply to the request "don't call me ma'am" is always "yes ma'am." Kill 'em with kindness. What's the old military phrase? "Saluting their office"?
