MEN: if feminists disappear, will you start being CHIVALROUS?

For me Men and Women have been always equal so this change wont affect my behaviour towards women.

Most guys I know are chivalrous. Perhaps you need to start hanging out with some better guys,

There's nothing wrong with being courteous and respectful to women now.....why wait?.....Omni-Slash

That logic makes no sense. Men choose how men act. The fact that men are trying to blame their personal flaws on women are further proof of the unequal attitudes that feminists are trying to combat.SkylinePigeon

When was being chivalrous considered a flaw...?

As far as doors are concerned, there have been quite a few women who have held the door open for me.
It makes me feel special, so I pass on the feeling when I can. :>

I just told her that I didn't even realize she was a girl.........Omni-Slash

i thought feminists didn't want us opening doors for them...

Im so confused!!!!!

Jeremy you know we have gotten along for a long time and I am not trying to attack you personally, but this is another attitude that demonstrates unequal attitudes in between men and women. I am not saying the women acted correctly in this situation, but the attitude that if a woman doesn't respond positively to male acts or advances, she's a ***** or unfeminine... it's problematic.

I think masculinity/male sexuality gets called into question far more when a dude brushes off a girl, though.

Yes, on the contrary of most of the posts in this thread I say I will.

Maybe if I feel like it.

I hold open doors for people in general and only once had an issue with it. Funnily enough it was a woman. On the way into a store there was a guy a woman coming through the other side. I held onto the door, they stepped through and the guy nods a "thankyou". On the way out a woman comes through as I'm passing out the door - I held it open and she gave me a weird, sort of "dirty" look. I just said "suit yourself" and closed the door on her. :lol: I'd do the same if it was a guy.

No need for people to make anything of it. For the most part women are just as nice as men. "Feminists" are (imo) being awkward for the sake of being awkward. I don't lose sleep over it, so neither should anyone else. People should be nice for no other reason than just to be nice.
