Chivalry has long been a topic of debate. Some argue it’s an outdated concept that reinforces gender stereotypes, while others believe it’s a timeless display of respect and kindness. In a world striving for equality, where do we draw the line between traditional gestures and modern values?

Have we lost the essence of chivalry, or has it simply transformed into something different? Is it still important for men to hold doors open, pay for dates, or offer their coats? Or do those actions come off as patronizing?

I want to hear your opinions! Do you see chivalry as an essential part of relationships today, or do you think it’s time to move on from those old norms?

    I’m old, so I’m betting the response may differ based on age. My wife and my teenage daughter both wait for me to open doors for them. When we are walking, I walk curb side. When there are automatic doors, I wait so they can enter first.
