"Sexist Republican Pig! How dare you hold that door for me!!!"

[KC_Conspirator]

This is crap.

[tcostell]

There really is no winning is there?

[Mr. Thorne]

Oy vey.

Shoot me now...

[boxer]

I agree. Why do we feed these people?

[SoDak]

The fact that there was public money lying around to fund a study like this is depressing.

[ClearCase_guy]

The participants reporting high support for chivalry gave more favorable ratings to homemakers and less favorable ratings to career women ... suggesting that chivalrous men ... disapprove of women who ... are high in competence

I think this whole thing is stupid. The above "logical" chain of supposition on the part of the researcher really shows that they are pushing an agenda and grasping at straws to do so.

[Cicero]

Radical feminists have protested against having doors held for them for at least thirty years. And now this guy does a study--well funded with tax money, no doubt--to confirm it.

One more instance of a researcher finding what he wanted to find in the first place. Besides, if he had found anything else, he would never get another research grant or promotion.

Politically correct scholars are little better than lemmings.

[Jeff Chandler]

...disapprove of women ...who are low in virtue.

What?! Dissapprove of somebody's lack of virtue? How unenlightened. Next thing you know, people will start to approve of virtue. That could lead to standards of behavior, which could lead to intact families, which could lead to well-adjusted children, which could lead to a decrease in the need for counseling, which could lead to the unemployment of professors of psychology.

"The soft chivalry of low expectations"

[HitmanLV]

LOS ANGELES (Reuters Health) - Chivalry isn't all it's cracked up to be, suggests new research showing that men who hold doors for women also tend to hold sexist views about them.

Heaven knows I do! I haven't gotten many complaints about it in my time, either.

[Sir Gawain]

What do you tell a woman with two black eyes?

Nothing, you already told her twice!

;-)

[Junior]

Destroying the last vestiges of culture and civility, that's what this is all about...

Yup, I hold doors for them too, and the elderly, and anyone who is close to the door so that it does not slam in their face. where in the survey do I fit.

Women, I belive with all my heart that they are different in important ways from men. Oh yes, and some are pretty, some are smart, some are...

[B-Chan]

Fine. I'm a sexist. So what?

[Sir Gawain]

I remember being in NJ on business and when I would hold the doors (like I always do), the women would give me the evil eye, like I was insulting them. Not that I needed another reason to hate it up north.

Viva La Difference!

[First Amendment]

The belief that women are less competent and powerful than men explained both chivalry --that women must be protected and provided for by men--and sexist beliefs that women are not qualified for high-power positions, the researchers concluded.

There is so much to dissect here - I am really angry about this crap. These sick sexually confused people should not get a PENNY of public money. The feminist agenda is ruining families and millions of lives. I know. I was in Berkely at one of the first "women's liberation" meeetings in 68 or 69.

Feminazis are angry, lesbian, hateful bitches who want to destroy God's natural order. It is very very sad and dangerous that this kind of horse s**t is being crammed down kids' throats in school and media. Girls nowadays - and boys - are indoctrinated with this psychotic nonsense. "Feminism" means: Women have the right to be (and should be) sluts, they should be lesbians, and they must hate men. They must have abortions, and the result is millions of bastard children. And men can have sex any old time with any woman and feel no repsonsibility. After all, why keep a cow at home when you can buy milk in the market? I really hate this c*p.

No wonder kids are totally confused and can't form relationships. They don't know what a normal marriage looks like.

Why can't they see that men and women have different psychologies and different roles? Answer: they want to detroy society since they are envious of the Creator.

I have never in my life gotten a bad reaction from a woman for holding a door, or for any other act of chivalry. (Being ruggedly handsome has its advantages!)
