Chivalry is not dead...
I was reading a post on a friend of mines site ("AiTenTen"), when I came across the whole girls vs. guys dodgeball thing. Apparently she got hurt from a game. This just didn't sit well with me. In my highschool I don't remember throwing a dodgeball at a girl. It just isn't what I would do. Call me old-fasioned or whatnot, but I just... I don't know... wouldn't feel right. I find it idiotic for all of those guys out there that think that chivalry is dead, and I find it equally dumb for all those girls out there that don't want guys to be chivalrus.

I was brought up to be polite to a lady, regardless of the circumstances. A gentlemen should open the door for a lady, he should take her coat for her and pull out her chair, help to carry anything so that they don't have to, walk on the outside of the sidewalk (in-case you don't know, this was originally for when it was raining out or wet on the street, if a car passed by and splashed water it would hit the man instead of the woman, but it also enables the man to push the woman out of the way if a vehicle veers off the road), just doing these little things makes a huge difference to a woman.

I encourage all who read this to be a little more courteous to a woman. And ladies, allow the men to do these things, they aren't "dominating your sex" or "acting like their better than you" or something... they are just being polite.

“Chivalry!---why, maiden, she is the nurse of pure and high affection---the stay of the oppressed, the redresser of grievances, the curb of the power of the tyrant ---Nobility were but an empty name without her, and liberty finds the best protection in her lance and her sword.”
