How do they figure out which one is deserving of chivalrous treatment though?
wait, ive never thought of this question before. cant woman be chivalrous in their own way or is there another word for it like...ladylike. i thought chivalry was something all decent people do. like a civil man opens a door for a woman, and a woman politely says thank you
(im not trying to defend the picture, i think its fucking weird to say only lesbians are chivalrous)
Come to think of it I guess chivalry could be any knightly/honorable behavior. Refusing to kill someone who doesn't have a weapon, for example. But I think in the modern day it has more of a simpy connotation.
i guess i just grew up using the word without realizing the origin of the word was mostly meant for honorable knights. weird. basically anyone whos not a knight is just being knight-like when they're being chivalrous. at first i was thinking there might be a different word to describe a woman displaying chivalrous behavior but now im wondering if thats true for anyone whos not a knight.
im way overthinking this now. everyone should aspire to be chivalrous
