Description
C'mon everyone! You feminazis have the gall to actually say that chivalry is sexist? Wow. Can't you people go fight for real equal rights that women all over the world can't enjoy instead of crying how a guy held the door open for you?I was always taught that a guy should hold the door for any lady. I still do that, and I will continue to do that. When on a conventional date in, say, a restaurant, I was taught to pull my date's seat out for her.
Sorry, I didn't know that being polite to women was sexist. Quit whining about it! It's flattery and politeness, not patronizing sexism! I think if more guys exhibited this, the world would be a better place. I support chivalry, politeness, and treating women right! That's the Starlow-FTW verdict.
kthxbye.

Are you even hearing yourself? You're saying its not sexism while literally saying "I was taught a guy should open the doors for ladies". A GUY and a LADY. MAN and WOMAN. You're literally judging BASED on gender. The thing that feminists are wrong at is that its NOT sexist to women, and the thing that YOU are sexist about is denying chivalry's sexism. NEITHER of you are paying attention to how its SEXIST. AGAINST. MEN. Not "not sexist completely", or "sexist to women". Its sexist against men. Its treating men like they're lesser than women. Like men should treat women with extra respect. As if men OWE women. Ask yourself this simple question, if chivalry is really just "politeness", how come women aren't told to be chivalrous? Why aren't women told to protect men? Why aren't women told to pay and holds doors open for men? Because then the whole thing would be called sexist. But since MEN are the ones being treated like shit, lesser and owe women, no one bats an eye and people like you are literally saying "its not sexist, i was raised guys should do that to girls" Like how can your brain even process that sentences without actually realizing the contradictory and hypocrisy? Long story short, chivalry is sexist against MEN. Quit being misandristic. Men don't owe women. And respect should be equal to everyone, just like how everyone should treat each other equally. Worshipping women is not respect. Treating men like shit is not "not sexism".

I agree, chivalrous gentlemen only give females special treatment. Hippie faggots give everyone special treatment.

While I am against "Chivalry"(It teaches that women are the weaker or fairer sex, when given how many female murderers and criminals there are, is a load of crap), I will still open the door for a woman. But guys too(And NO, I'm not gay!). If I'm playing a game with a woman, I will not go easy on her. Rather, I encourage her to try her best. Chivalry IS dead. Good manners aren't.

I'm polite to everybody, regardless of gender! I hold the door for anyone who's behind me, especially if they've got their hands full. As long as you do it for everyone, it's perfectly fine!

The idea is that you are supposed to do things for women such as opening doors for them and let them go first. The whole idea is that women get special treatment, and men get nothing of the sort, so that is sexism towards men.

I don't really agree, but you're free to have that opinion. I just know I do it out of choice. If someone get annoyed with it, well, that person and myself probably wouldn't have gotten along to begin with. XD

God Bless you.
Chivalry is fair and they treat women with respect. <3
-I don't think this story has anything to do with Chivalry, but it's about sexism.
There was a boy in my class that I really really loved (I had a huge crush on him)
And then there is my best friend. She meant the world to me.
On the first day of school I had to sit next to the boy and I got a crush on him
We talked about everything basically.
Then near the end of the school year (keep in mind I still have a crush on him)
I see him talking to my best friend and she looked like she was going to cry.
I was going to ask what was wrong, but I didn't want to cause a scene anywhere
so when I got home I went on Skype to talk to her in private
She told me he was a sexist. He kept telling her bad things and made her do all his classwork
I told the teacher about it, so now I have to work with her instead of the boy so he doesn't say anything bad about women, and so me and my friend do the work together instead of her doing the work. (Which is good)
I no longer like that kid for what he did to my best friend, and I am strictly against sexism.

Well, I'm sorry that crush crushed your heart with his attitude. Chivalry is about respect, not domination. Sexism, by definition, is the belief that one sex is inferior to another. I don't think that's the case. I do believe that men and women are DIFFERENT, but it's those differences that make us all individually unique, invaluable, and special. Society is brainwashed into believing that if we aren't carbon copies of another person, there is no equality. I don't believe equality can be achieved by mass producing an army of clones who believe everybody is the same- I'd call that tyranny, the ultimate form of inequality. If you want to see an example of this culture in its formative stage, feel free to see my anti gender neutral stamp for oodles of people who have missed my point entirely.

I see women say holding a door open and that is sexist. W-T-F?
I understand if they think that when guys do not make crude jokes infront of them for the sake of "being ladies", but all they need to say is "Go on! say it! I am not that kind of lady!" instead of screaming. Even guys who do that have good intentions.

Not really. I call them as I see them. There's being an advocate striving for equality, a movement which I not only support, but consider myself a part of, and then there's being a petty little feminazi.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
So...equality, but women who get too uppity about equality are equal to people who want to put people in camps and gas them to death?
I'm confused.

The ones who say that men should be castrated, and that some sort of feminist revolution needs to happen to end the "tyranny" of men? I'd say it's a more than fair comparison.
Although, the term "feminazi" is used as a way to denote the feminists that are out for power and control rather than fairness and equality- it's a comparison between relationships, not people.

's still kinda...stupid, as a comparison.

Really? I think it works okay.

You think it works ok???
I don't like feminazi alright. Because it equates killing to being a angry, terribad feminist but the two REALLY aren't the same. I think everyone knows the difference between a woman who is way too angry at men and genocide of an entire race. Lol don't try to pretend that's not an OTT and kind of ridiculous, utterly head-bangingly reactionary comparison to make. It makes people drama queens/drama kings, JUST because they happened to come across a dime a dozen witch within a sea of calm equalist leaning feminists, I mean come on!

I think chivalry shouldn't just be a requisite of men. Women should also open doors and escort elderly people across the street, etc. So I guess I half-agree with you on this one.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Everyone half agrees with me on this one. I can live with that. Maybe it's not a requisite of a man, but is, in my opinion, that of a gentleman.

Also I totally agree with the sentiment that people always tend to fight for the more insignificant things when it comes to rights movements.
For example in Gay Rights some leftists (which make me feel embarrassed as a fellow, more sane leftie) want to force EVERYONE into the sort of thinking that it's their way or the highway when it comes to gay marriage, when really I think the issue is still by far acceptance and lowering the amount of gay suicides and hate crimes towards homosexuals 
Also people would rather focus on chivalry than helping out women in third world countries with no rights at all and a horrid quality of life or focusing on wage gaps in certain jobs, you know, the real problems?? Gah.

The way I see it, there's a fine line between chivalry and sexism.
For instance: if you're closer to the door than the woman, hold it open for her. That's a nice gesture. Chivalry. Good.
If the woman is closer to the door though, and you have to RUSH PAST HER to get the door open before she reaches it, that starts sliding into sexism because it almost seems to say "I don't think you are capable of opening doors, so if I don't hurry to open it before you get there, you'll crash into it! Can't have that!" Not so good.
In other words, I think you should be chivalrous to people in general. But coddling females excessively, simply because they're women, is sexism, not chivalry.
That said, it's a more minor sexism than what's going on elsewhere in the world, and should go on the backburner to be solved later, once we've dealt with more pressing issues.
So here's to the spirit of true chivalry, I suppose. Kindness, not coddling.

I dunno, I do that kind of stuff on occasion just because it's part of my personality (although I'm not as overt and obvious as sprinting past people for that, but I might walk a bit quicker to get in front of her) I don't mean anything sexist by it, and a lot of people find it charming. So I'm tempted to not stop.
I do agree with you on other instances, though, that it is a matter of basic kindness a lot of the time. Furthermore, you're right- it's not a big enough issue in the grand scheme of things for people to obsess over. There's real sexism elsewhere in the world to deal with first.

Just so we're clear: You know that chivalry does not have to include refusing to fight someone just because they are a woman and that you are a man (regardless of the situation (such as self-defense or on a battlefield), am I right? You should also put that in your stamp's description.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
In the grand scheme of things, I don't advocate fighting period except in extreme situations of defense. I especially do encourage people to avoid fighting women. Sometimes, though, it can't be helped, and if you're in a situation where you must defend yourself from a woman, then do what you must to assure your safety and the safety of others.

Eh, I live in Britain (Scotland, specifically) where we're usually naturally polite to everyone. If I'm walking in front of someone, I'll catch the door before it closes and let them grab it; and the same often happens if someone is in front of me and they catch the door for me. Gender doesn't really have anything to do with it, it's just being polite and thoughtful of other people.
I don't mind if a guy holds a door open for me, but again it's a very gender-neutral thing here. I dated a guy from America and he would literally stand and hold the door open for me and wait for me to walk inside, and admittedly it felt a little awkward as I wasn't used to it. I still appreciate chivalry of course, but mostly I just appreciate politeness. I don't have a problem with it, as I will catch the door for anyone walking behind me no matter the gender, and often I'll expect the same from someone who's walking in front of me. If it doesn't happen then I don't mind, I'm perfectly capable of opening the door myself xDD
I understand women who get a bit upset about it, as it can come off as patronising. If a man is doing it to be polite and would do the same for other men, fair enough. But if he's only doing it for a woman to baby them or impress them then that's when we have a problem. I don't really expect guys to run around doing things for me to make my life "easier" as it just feels awkward. I appreciate a gentleman as much as the next girl, but that doesn't mean "babysitter". If a woman doesn't want you to do it, then you should respect her wishes xD

I whole-heartedly agree with this stamp. Apparently, it seems that a growing trend among people, particularly feminists, is to define 'sexism' as the 'unequal treatment of a particular gender.' If that is the case, then the fact that I cannot enter the ladies' restroom is sexism, or the fact that I cannot sleep in the girls' dormitories at a boarding school is also classified as sexism. In reality, that is just common sense and etiquette, not sexism. This new definition is, in my personal opinion, ridiculous, and serves no real purpose aside from attempting to abolish traditional gender roles.
I respect all people - men and women - yet I still try to act chivalrously, such as letting a woman enter through a door first while holding it open for her, and I am not ashamed of doing so.

Sexism, by definition (if actual definitions of words that I don't just make up mean anything anymore) is to think of one sex as inferior to another.
Thanks for the comment. Frankly, yours was a breath of fresh air, as I've been getting nothing but the same "oh, I do the same things for both men and women yadda yadda." Yeah, that's great, do what you will, but it tells me that people are either missing the point, or too afraid to be called sexist, which they shouldn't fear, just as you said. It's not sexist, it's polite, and there are people who just hate all things tradition that want to destroy it, even if it does no harm.

You know, I'm glad you do, really, but that isn't the point of this stamp. I'm not saying that just to you, but to the millions of others who told me that.
