I tend to think that chivalry is a male thing, not to mention knightly and involving the wearing of handkerchiefs more than the opening of doors, and that women are considerate, thoughtful, and polite when they open doors and let others ahead of them. But now I sound sexist, not to mention age-ist and an anachronism in my own time. Can women be knights? I think that is the real question.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9043527093315561242.post-68149285736334974462008-09-14T10:21:00.000-07:002008-09-14T10:21:00.000-07:00I think they grow far more intellectual baristas i...I think they grow far more intellectual baristas in your neck of the woods.

The root is respect, admiration, gratitude, and a sense of generosity, as long as the act shows these qualities, it is chivalry. To say a woman cannot be chivalrous is to fall prey to the sexist stereotypes, and convey the implication that women are weaker than men and unable to hold themselves to a higher standard as is a male."<BR/><BR/>http://www.chivalrytoday.com/Essays/Becker/Becker-Sheena-1.htmlJessTrevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11000531822628182708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9043527093315561242.post-85293040918600129852008-09-12T11:46:00.000-07:002008-09-12T11:46:00.000-07:00I think I can be rude regardless of my gender depe...I think I can be rude regardless of my gender depending on my mood on any particular day.
