It hit me today as I trooped it with 2 large bags on 2 buses and 2 trains to my destination, CHIVALRY IS DEAD!For my ride I was basically standing and as I looked up more than 10 women were standing while men sat aimlessly staring into space.What the fuck is going on? I asked myself. It is very rarely you see a gentleman open a women's door,pay for the meal,give her first choice, or even take her to any destination she wishes.
I know I myself get into countless arguments with my hunny when I ask to get taken somewhere which is sad and if you disagree I honestly don't give a fuck because we both know there is something wrong with that.I asked around in my circle of friends and this seems to be something everyone is dealing with whether you are a lesbian,gay, or straight CHIVALRY IS DEAD! Why is it the last time I saw an act of chivalry was with my hunnys 16 yr old sister:she,I, and her best friend(a guy) went to the movies and he not only paid for her ticket but for snacks for her and I. I told my friend Michelle(name changed for security) about this she laughed and said:"if that was me I would've had to pay for both tickets,both set of snacks, and transportation. I took a second and I said ok let me hear the other side of the story maybe there is a logical reason why men are the bitches of today and are incapable of being gentleman...the response I recieved from multiple guys were:"but we say I love you, isn't that enough".I think this quote speaks for itself they are complete fucking idiots, I grew up on the words of my mother stating "love is just a word there needs to be action behind it" and clearly in 2010 the only action is women pulling out their Louis Vuitton,Marc Jacobs,Juicy Couture,Gucci,Fendi,Kate Spade, and Betsey Johnson wallets to pick up the tab.

look, i feel you and all, but i think to believe every man is to be chivalrous and to follow a modern day knighthood is farfetched and shouldn't be expected...I'm not saying that men shouldn't be chivalrous because they should in a way; all men should show the utmost respect to women in the majority of cases...there are many cases that doesn't allow chivalry to happen though; all men aren't chivalrous just like how all women don't accept chivalry...i remember being about 18 and i always remembered a time where i offered a lady a seat on a packed train one day...all i said was "would you like sit?" with a gesture towards the seat, she then preceded to tell me "no, i'm good; i'm not looking for anybody"...i laughed so hard inside lol and then gave my seat to an elderly women who just got on the train...i don't want anything out of it, to me its something you just do sometimes, respect...chivalry is only dead when chivalry doesn't happen; men are chivalrous everyday but nobody sees it are cares to recognize it, though it shouldn't be PUBLICIZED, its always dead when it doesn't happen...you are right and have a brilliant blog about how some men just don't even know what chivalry is or for that part respect, however chivalry is not dead and to expect chivalry from everyone is like expecting a world without ignorance, a world without hate, a world without judgement and to expect such an act would be to expect something utopian although it isn't bad to want respect and peace all the time...but also, you should teach these men lol or as i do, show men and young boys what chivalry should be, just humility and respect...some people don't know what chivalry consists of and many times all of what they know is bad and therefore you must show them good...but a lot of times i also feel women expect to be spoiled and that shouldn't be; you have a great man who paid for you and his sister if i read correctly...lol...and i don't think thats chivalry but respect in knowing whats right...if i can afford to do something nice then of course i would do it for the people i love or in just regular cases...so my thing is you shouldn't expect chivalry in this world, but this does not make it dead; what you should expect though always is respect...signing off...MK...great blog btw lol (sorry if i wrote too much =D lol)
