Chivalry is dead, and women killed it.
It says you got some reps from people who either liked the discussion itself or were themselves as misogynistic as you are. You got twice as many negative comments in response here on the thread itself and got those from people of both genders, so the negative reaction you received still far outweighs the positive. The ones who liked it and agreed with it weren't brave enough to post that up front, and they were probably wise not to do so.
I just reread your original thread and again marveled at the offensiveness of the "swift punch in the jaw" comment. You cannot see that because it came from an attitude in your head, but you also don't get the concept of chivalry as courtesy, clearly. One thing's for sure, those men who don't see the value of chivalry are never going to fall into the category that women regard as sexy. Not because of some fantasy of knighthood. That's silliness that people on the outside looking in read into that term. Intelligent women can take care of themselves. It's sexy because the courtesy/chivalry that shows on the surface translates to someone who, in intimate situations, goes out of his way to, well, satisfy. That's why it's sexy to see a man who is courteous/chivalrous and an immediate turnoff when he's not. I'm pretty sure that's also why you're not meeting women! They're looking past you at the ones who aim to please.

Pos reps and no negs? It's probably either because no one wants to agree with you in public, or they just like the discussion... I mean, hell, if it matters so much, I'll give you a neg based on the punch in the jaw comment... but I'd rather jsut TELL you that it was really fucking rude.

I won't try to change someone's opinion and there isn't a single person here who has given me an example of what I'm blaming people for. Yes, I'm an asshole. I guess that's just too bad, but my point stands.
P.S. I've gotten 3 positive reps for this thread and not one negative. What does THAT say?
P.P.S. Make that 4 positive reps.
Did you even read what I posted before responding? I specifically told you how you are blaming and refusing to even consider your part in the way you are treated. I did not claim you are ignorant because I don't agree with you. It's because you appear to be oblivious in many aspects. Read the definition of ignorant again. It in no way = wrong or objectionable.
I personally don't give a hoot about rep and rarely give it. Some of it is to folks I totally disagree with if it's a good post(open-minded, respectful, well constructed, rational or insightful regarding the issue, helpful or hilarious to me personally. I don't give people negative rep at all. In the case of seeing something truly f***ed up, I report.
I'm not sure why you expect folks to open their minds to your points when you refuse to even read theirs objectively(or all all it appears in some cases.)
Again, I challenge those who agree with you (via rep) to have the guts to actually join the discussion. Might make it a bit more balanced.

Personally, I don't give bad rep to ignorant people. ( See mmjnoobs above post for definition of igrorance). You obviously don't know any better. :i feel stupid:
Guys like you certainly make me appreciate my "chivalrous" guy a lot more, I can tell you that!

I would've said that it reaked of uncanny douchery never before seen on this forum, but I haven't been on this forum that long so I'll just say in at least the last year ;)
Rude is a bit of an understatement :hippy:

thanks.. here's an excerpt from the website that I got it from if you want to know more about the picture:
Quote:
Cannabis leaf surface. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the surface of a cannabis (Cannabis sativa) leaf. The pointed hairs are called lithocyst cells. They contain cystolyths (calcium carbonate crystals). Glandular cells called trichomes are present in the foreground. They are of two types: capitate trichomes have stalks, whereas peltate trichomes are rounded and closer to the leaf surface. Trichomes secrete a resin containing tetrahydrocannabinol. The resin is the source of a euphoriant drug. Magnification unknown.

PRECISELY-that is what I rep'd for! I enjoyed everyone else's comments and that you were foolish or stupid enough to make a thread. It took balls and I've enjoyed the dicussion-that is all. I don't know why I keep coming back here. Guess I am waiting for verbal fist's and asshole's flying in the air!
I don't think you have a clue!
Right now, after what the tractor man did on my property after my specific instructions not to---I am pretty pissed at men like you! But, I would never take it out on you! You opened my eyes, and for that I must have some gratefulness. That is all!
No thumbs up or you are cool. Just stupid and brave. :hippy:
Since, your head is just getting bigger--I hope I do not purposefully drop back in. :smokin:
Imagine; World Peace!!

Chivalry will never be dead if at least one person believes in it and has the honor and fortitude to follow his heart. I, for one, worship women.. it may not seem like the most intelligent quality, but it is genuine and its not going anywhere anytime soon. If I hold a door open for a woman and she were to give me a disgusted look or blatantly refuse my polite gesture, I would give her a hurt smile and continue through the door, holding it open behind me. I feel it necessary to point out that I hold the door open for anybody that is near me, and have never been turned down. Maybe its the way the act is carried out?
I have also given much thought to women in the military during my lifetime, as I always thought I would spend most of my life at war. If I was in a hostile wartime environment, I imagine I would be more than delighted to have any female presence I could interact with. However I could very well see myself compromising my own life to protect hers, be it rational or not. I dont honestly know, though, and it doesnt look like I will end up going to war at this point. I would be delighted if the situation didnt have to exist in the first place.
I love women and I refuse to stop spoiling them :p

trat as you would like to be treated, unless there just some evil bitch then do unto uthers as theyve don 2 yo, stank hoes.

Now this is generally speaking, and not about all women, so don't get mad :]. I'm not disagreeing with the OP either, just concurring. Women killed chivalry when they decided they were more interested in assholes that would screw them and leave them than to play it safe and be in a stable, nice relationship. I mean, if a guy knows a girl is reeled in and he knows that all he wants is in her guts, why should he open doors and pull out chairs? And if the girl sees this and is still interested, she has obviously lowered her standards. If she sees it this way, why not lower your standards (if you have to) and go with a guy that isn't as "daring and charming," but will at least treat you like you're the shit? The bee's knees. Whatever you call it.
As for the original post, I had never thought of it this way before, but I totally agree. As for how it applies to affirmative action, it's like certain minorities calling other majorities (not pointing any fingers) "racist," but then having their own television stations, college funds, etc. I think that's a little bit wrong and hypocritical as well.
Not to piss anyone off, merely the ramblings of someone who sees a lot of hypocracy and wrong-doing in our society today. And still people wonder why we have problems getting shit done in the government. LACK OF RESPONSIBILITY AND TOO MUCH TIME SPENT ON TRYING TO POINT THE FINGER AT SOMEONE ELSE.
Love.

My 2 cents(if you care):
I was raised "old fashioned", so I was taught to respect women, defend women, and let them know how special they really are. I mean, for crying out loud, I saw the birth of my son and have delivered 3 babies in my life(as a volunteer firefighter) and I never stopped being amazed that a womans body can do the things it does.
I was taught to open all doors, ladies first, watch your language, be respectful, and defend her against any and all threats for the simple fact that she's a woman. My first wife didn't appreciate these aspects of my personality, however my second wife cherishes them.
I say equality in all REASONABLE areas. I would not want to go into combat with a female at my side because my gut instinct is to protect her before a man and this could jeopardize my fellow soldiers. I also know that most women cannot drag a 200 lb body as quickly or efficiently as most men. Underscore MOST. I also would not want to be a police officer with a woman for back-up.(I was one for 1 1/2 years)MOST women do not fight nearly as well as a man. I believe that if you dispute that, you are deluded.
I love women. They are a gift to men and should be treated as such. Strike ANY woman in front of me and be prepared for me to do my very best to stomp your face in the dirt. Not saying I'd always win, but I would have no choice other than to try.
I will continue my soap box speech asap, but I must go for now. PLEASE, let me know what you think.:smokin:

Women like the assholes cause 99.9% of the time they are far more exciting than some stage 5 clinger dude who caters to their every need and tells them how perfect they are.......how old would that get in a week. Sounds boring even to me.

I'm married to a marine, they don't WANT women in the infantry. However women ARE in the military and ARE over in Afghanistan risking their lives and getting blown up by IEDs just like the rest of the guys so maybe you ought to think twice before you put your hands on that keyboard.
Edit: To be more clear women that are deployed to afghanistan work in communications, transportation and other fields. They are in danger of attack from taliban, but more in danger (as are all military in Afghanistan) of being blown to bits by the IEDs.
