Chivalry is dead, and women killed it.

[stinkyattic]

See, I think that's the crux of it, and I was also taught about the sidewalk bit, and notice when it is done. The little things like holding doors and walking on street side ARE charming; I don't consider them NECESSARY as in something that all men are supposed to do for all women, but still CONSIDERATE. If someone doesn't hold the door, I don't care if it's a man or woman, it's just kinda irritating when the stupid thing swings back in your face.

In essence it was a thread on equality and fairness and what have you. That made me think about another instance of inequality in our society. I'm speaking, of course, about the division of men and women. I will freely admit that I frequently have my moments of EXTREME sexism, but I feel that that's largely because I haven't met too many really intelligent women or women that really have anything exciting or Rating: 5

Stinky there's nothing to get. He's got problems and feels ok blaming the opposite sex for them. GD there is the same.....only a bit more subtle.

They're angry that they can't control themselves and their stone age thoughts about women. That's obviously womens' fault.

There's an old saying from the TV Murphy Brown and it goes like this which is exactly along the same line these guys are playing. "Men still wouldn't know how to stand up straight if stores hadn't started putting beer on the top shelves."

Who they are shows in what they state. Simple.

I have problems. Gee thats a very acute observation. And you don't, right? Of course I have problems friend. If I didn't, I wouldn't be much of a human being.

Unfortunately, you're wrong. I don't blame women for anything. I'm starting to believe that most people don't actually read the original post, because some of the comments here are just mind boggling...

Maybe you misunderstood a couple of my original statements that said "I just haven't met the right girl that will appreciate what I have to offer. That's all." and "We're both to blame... equally."

The first one was my subtle way to say I'm not perfect and what I 'have to offer' isn't what most girls want, and I've yet to meet the girl that I am the most compatible with. There's lots about me that doesn't jive with most females, and I accept it.... never putting any blame solely on them. If I'm not the right one for them, then they're not the right girl for me; vice versa. That sounds about equal to me.

The second, of course, means I'm taking equal blame... It's always a two-way street in relationships. I know it's not always gonna be both mine AND a girl's fault each time for when things don't work out, but it's a basic 50/50 chance whom is to blame or a combination of both.... so it's easier to assume an average of equal blame. Law of averages rocks my world

I debate most things from both sides, I don't hide my thoughts in doublespeak.

And no stone age thoughts here... (nice try with the insults)

OK, lets do a bit of role-playing here. Read your original post, and respond to it the way you think someone SHOULD. You might find it difficult to write a response agreeing with yourself without sounding even more sexist and ignorant than you did in the first place.

You know, I've been thinking about this. And I've decided that the concept of chivalry itself is outdated. The remnants of 'chivalry' still have a place in our social customs, if both parties can give and accept them with grace and mutual respect. But to me, the word refers to an action done to protect someone weaker than yourself- the OPPOSITE of bullying. As with all things, create true equality so that neither party is truly 'weaker', and you will find that good behaviour lies in the middle, with maybe just a dash of 'awwww how charming' tossed in for flava.

Thank you....this is the best answer I have heard so far. Beautifully said.

GD....please.....you couldn't care less about womens' right and you know it. You're just excited to be talking about "boobs" in any way, shape OR form with women and trying to couch it in some sort of "discussion" to sound like you actually give a shit what they think.

Whether or not you think so.....the drooling shows. We weren't born yesterday.

[Weedhound]

And here's the problem that everybody mixes up chivalry with.....it's the same as manners. It's called treating someone decently and it's getting more and more rare these days.

Shall we toss out manners as well? We appear to be well on the way already.

[stinkyattic]

...it's the same as manners.
Shall we toss all those too?

Lolcat sez:
Manners iz ded.
Teh intertubes killd it.

(So iz grammr. Same culprit.)

oh my god. best thread title i have ever seen on here,

So Plagirism is the best you've seen for a thread title. The thread title came from a stand up skit by the Comedian Dave Chappelle. Personally I prefer a bit more originality or genuinity, but if you find people claiming other people's words as their own then sure.... I guess it would be the best thread title ever :thumbsup:

you could almost set your watch to some of the responses.

There are many things you could set your watch to.. Of course many of the responses are going to be predictable just because the nature of the post. It is extremely insulting and sexist.

Good job throwing your two cents in; which is the approximate value of this thread. :thumbsup:
