What do ppl think feminism killed chivalry?

People say feminism killed it because feminism is about men and women being equal, some people think this means men don't have to pay for dinner, or open doors and all that stuff. But paying for dinner, opening doors and all those things are just things nice people do. Chivalry is dead, it's called being nice now and both men and women do it.

Men brought up in generations dating back prior to the late 60's would respect and appreciate aspects of chivalry such as opening doors, ladies first to sit down and be served food, lifting and reaching for things, opening jars, etc. A lot more would be done around the house as well because men felt VALUED and RESPECTED by women for doing these things. Young boys in those days were most often brought up to be gentlemen. I don't call this chivalry as it is not saving a woman from being helpless and is just manners boys/young men were taught to make them feel worthwhile, VALUED and respectable.

Feminism began abusing these VALUES that society generally had toward these good manners back say before the late 60's. Men who later attempted to be good mannerly toward women would generally get abused for it because women were conditioned by feminism to think they could do everything themselves and did not need men doing things on their behalf. This is what that generation of men were brought up with and were then treated by the feminist women that evolved out of the late 60's onwards. These feminist women simply did not respect, value, appreciate what men had been brought up to offer. What we got was abuse for treating women as unable to help themselves. So these good manners became significantly less common and has been in progressive decline since the late 60's. Very largely due to the women's lib that The Rockefeller Foundation funded and promoted for the little ducks of those days and thereafter.

But to answer your question feminism gave women more of an opportunity to provide for themselves and their futures. Chivalry is basically a set of manners that dictate how men should behave around women. Feminism helped women receive more opportunities to provide for themselves and their futures. Men began to see them more as equals, they actually got to know them as human beings. Chivalry, for all its positives, tends to stand in the way of them, as it is difficult to get to know someone when they arent allowed to be themselves and neither are you. So it had to go.

Personally I would gladly give up "chivalry" for the right to vote. I can open my own door.

Pseudofeminism is just the radical version of real feminism, the kind that women who are misandrists follow. Real feminism that women right activists follow hasn't ruined chivalry.

No stupidity killed chivalry. When men started bailing on their children and women had to start supporting their own families because the men didnt want the responsibility of their young and refused to grow up...women had to step up and be the man. If you are threatened by feminist women, you clearly arent a real man. A real man is only threatened by other real men.

chivalry fell out of favor in about the 16th century

Feminism only really came about in the 18th century

lets for argument sake say that it did, the real question is do you think that was a good thing or a bad thing, that's what that topic is really about.

I think that 'feminism' get's blamed for many things. 'Chivalry' died of old age. Most people open doors for others, regardless of gender/age, give up seats to 'tired' people etc... It's been renamed as 'manners'.

They be crazy; it was obviously the political elite! Men and women both having equal rights opens up a massive pool of workers, increasing supply of workers which in turn generates compeition and reduces salaries and now that men and women are both fair game = more taxing opportunities!

Probably i'm not crazy though.

Not entirely sure it has, I still hold doors open, ladies first and all the stuff that was drilled into me as a kid.

If they take offense to it then they can go **** themselves, never happened to me personally..if I hold a door open they walk through and say thanks and we all get on with our lives..end of interaction.

There's probably a few extremist feminists out there but you get extremists in everything.

It mostly seems like a silly taunt used by anti-fems who are trying to come up with reasons why women should regret getting equal rights.

Of course the women's rights movement has "killed" chivalry. Chivalry is a gender role behavior and the main goal of the women's rights movement was to get rid of gender roles.
