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

I've been doing a bit of googling. I guess it is knightly behavior, and there are differing codes depending on the source -- a couple major sources are King Arthur's legend and the Song of Roland. All versions I've found seem kind of high-minded and obtuse.
