Why is chilvary only towards men and not towards women? Women were expected to tkae care of their men by taking care of the kids and house and men were expected to work and bring money, to support the family. These days women find it sexist to expect them to take care of the man yet they find it perfectly expectable to demand a man do such and such for them. Double standard.

One example, the Concordia Tragedy: Women called the men who ran off the boat cowards for not letting them off the boat first, they freaked out and ran off. They were called cowards and all sorts of names yet the women who freaked out and ran without helping, nothing was said of them.
Anyone in a situation like that might react in a number of ways but to
only pick out the men and only call them cowards is complete sexism.

Women also said that men are using feminisim as an excuse not to
put them first in itself is sexist. So bascially you’re saying men are here to
serve women. No, feminism isn’t about equality (at least not these days), it’s
about fighting for women and anything for men should be ignored.

Some women keep stating that things for women are still unequal and sexist these days… so so flawed and incorrect. Things have
changed.

To all those women who called the men in this situation cowards (and don’t say
anything about the women): You are a sexist, you probally think men caused all
the evil things in the world completely ignoring all those evil women who’ve
killed, etc. I bet you never brought up the men’s point, ie why do men have to
pay on dates, be chivalrist, etc. You only look at the things expected of women
in the past yet don’t look at the things that were expected of men. Men had to
work in the coal mines, steel industry, etc to feed their families while women
got to stay at home (even the ones who didn’t have any kids) and all the money
and food that were provided men had to work for. If men plotted against women
why the hell were so many more things expected of men (and STILL are, women get
to choose to stay at home or work, men still are expected to work, to take care
of the woman WHY?!)

Men were expected to take care of women and women were expected
to take care of men. Feminists stated this is an ideal from the so-called
patriachal society and they said this isn’t equality. Things are still expected
of men but to say that a woman should take care of men, feminists, call it
sexism.

It should only be “children first” nothing more nothing less. Men
and women SHOULD be equal and this is equality.

Those that are blaming women/feminism for why chivalry is dead are the same individuals that condone men being rude and lazy. Because mothers these days are busy at work, they are not sitting down with their sons/grandsons/nephews/cousins and telling them that manners go far in this world… And because of this lack of education… men are getting away with being discourteous and lazy. Just because ONE woman may not want a man to pull out her chair DOES NOT MEAN every woman does not enjoy some old fashioned etiquette.

I know it's bloody ironic to quote Clarence Uncle Thomas but to paraphrase: "Good manners will open doors…"

I'm tired of these articles. We need more articles on what men need to do. This is what's wrong with yall today. Other races of women out there talking about black women because yall making us look bad and like we don't know how to treat a man. Black men have issues too. Stop putting all the negative on black women. We are not all bad. Lift us up instead of bringing us down.

Uh… Now someone's just nitpicking… LaShaun is just being apologist to the rude behavior of men… There is no way around it. All women deserve respect. Pandering to men won't make them like you anymore than if you have a confident self-view…

You're aggressive: Cheerleaders have told us to Be Agressive. B-E-Agressive! We want that degree, we have to bust our ass in school. We want that promotion, we gotta haul ass at our job. Some women may apply this method to ALL areas of their life. Should she be demonized and disrespected for it?
You're Overtly Sexual: Sexuality is like proving obscenity… you know it when you see it. Yes, it's easy to slip into sleeze territory but unfortunately, there are more women than men in the world and because of that woman have to compete. And I would think that the woman that's stacked would get attention… Because guess what? Plain Janes like me STILL don't get the attention that Buxom Brenda gets….
You're loud: Yeah, that's a given… some people obviously missed that day on Sesame Street/kindergarten where you learn "Inside" and "Outside" voice.
You Pop Your Gum: Now… that's just nitpicking… I won't go further.
You're Militant: I think of that episode of "Living Single" where Sinclaire was a Black Panther. She said "I may be militant but my mama's out there." Which means she had a soft spot. And despite her militantism, Overton STILL DUG HER! It takes a real man to be respectful of a woman with a strong sense of values. Why is it that men can be militant but women cannot?
You Don't Give Them A Chance: Sure we do! They just keep failing at it…
You Complain Constantly: Everyone complains. And that's because there is always something to complain about.
You Curse Like A Sailor: Uh… Men curse like sailors… And what is really annoying is when men think it's alright to curse at me…
You Don't Speak Up: If you speak up, you're told you are too rigid. You don't speak up, you're seen as weak. PICK A DAMN SIDE PLEASE!

What about being too religious? When you're answer for everything is "God would have wanted you to open the door for me" or "According to The Lord's word, you are supposed to pick up for the check." That's a turnoff too….

This article affirms what I have always believed that if you want to be punitive of women’s behavior get another woman to oversee. As they surely enjoy punishing other women for not conforming.
While there may be something to some of the ideas expressed, I just do not like the implication of what is said. Everyone talks about chivalry as if it occurred in a vacuum for the benefit of women. It in fact originated in a society where women were property and had no rights other than those dictated by men. A man acting chivalrous today is more an expression of kindness than an exercise of manhood. Kindness is universal, a human virtue not some currency to be traded in the sexual/gender marketplace. I am not opposed to kindness but I am opposed to forced conformity, dictating how people should dress or conduct themselves without a contextual reference. No one is going do something if it lacks meaning.
I am sure the author thinks of this piece as the type of attention grabbing fodder that makes for good conversation but it really is just another boorish, judgmental unqualified attack article, full of inflammatory words and visuals but offering nothing in terms of substantive commentary. Stop trying to portray a gender divide where one does not really exist. Norms have changed stop trying to re-impose gender normative behavior.

A real woman knows how to let a man be a man. Some men like being helpful n needed. I'm all for independence, but I know when and where to speak my mind and take a stand. Some ladies don't have that finesse, they think independence is being angry and arrogant.

Only YOU are responsible for how a person treats you. Stop blaming other people for your shortcomings.
