A girl I know on FB reposted this photo:



It had the words, "It's rare, but I appreciate a man who understands what chivalry is all about."

I responded, "real women still do this"



Surprisingly she didn't get angry and joked back.

But here's my question, women throw out the word chivalry when they want a guy that's a white knight and takes that role. But what is the equivalent word for women who take the role of compliant ladies? Is there one? If not, we should come up with one. It's not fair that they can demand chivalry, but yet not offer whatever the female equivalent of chivalry is.

Its too late for women to capitalize on chivalry. Chivalry is a code to protect the weak. Women are too busy claiming how strong they are.

When women whine about this shit I go to full feminist mode- "you are supposed to be strong and empowered! Instead since you want chivalry you must be weak and pathetic. So sorry 4 u."

Not a pithy word, but it exists as an adjective: Lady-like.

For every chivalrous knight had a delicate, pure, gentle lady for whom he would lay down his cape, not this:

   

Or this:

^@ first pic, I would lay the pipe not the cape

[Taciturning]

"Class" or "classy". That's the closest word I can think of when I think of the very few lady-like (good one as well, Tut) western women I've known.

If there's a word for the phrase "know how to make a man feel loved", then that. Women used to learn from their mothers how to do that. Now they learn from their friends how to weasel the most our of their interactions with men with the least amount of commitment/effort.

This is good. We've all still got some kind of oneitis for an old school beauty?

It's not so strange. A good WOMAN is hard to find.

Women are like produce. So happy to find that perfect Honey Crisp apple.

But, she will wilt.

Aside from getting strange to supplement declining attraction of the same, game becomes about finding girls who have genetic integrity.

I often get turned off by girls who are hot now, but have physical markers that they will age badly.

I wonder who gets more scarred from the same frightening stimulus, a woman or a beta male.

Women are supposed to have a higher tolerance for pain than men (I think this is related to having to give birth).

If you are with a girl and she starts whining about this shit, then it's probably better to hit the next button. She's testing to see if you are preselected- do you know how to talk to women? You don't get into logical arguments with them.

You have to change the subject here or find other girls.

Chaste.

I love the way people throw around the word "chivalry" having no knowledge of the context in which it was used or the texts it relates to.

Chivalry was the reward young maidens got for waiting for a man who was making a life for himself elsewhere until he could return with the sufficient titles and lands to start a family further up the social ladder than he was born into.

No, there is no equivalent. Depending on your definition of chivalry, women may have a complementary set of rules (wait patiently for a man to open a door they are quite capable of opening themselves), or a set of eligibility requirements (chastity, deference, modesty, manners) but the core idea of chivalry is that it is a code of honor and conduct for people in a position of power. Dalrock has a great post on this: Chivalry only comes from a position of strength. Women were forced by society, for its own benefit, to curtail their sexual impulses and behave themselves. This gave men a great deal of power over their wives, and society over women as a whole. So chivalry was important.

Personally, if I'm on a date with a woman and she's dressed to the nines in restrictive or elaborate feminine attire (heels, fancy dress, etc.) and she's not sloppy drunk I will most certainly do the holding doors thing if she plays along. It's in both our best interest that she not flash her vag Lindsay Lohan style.

Well the word chivalry comes from old English meaning having the ideal qualifications to be a knight

A female knight (or the wife of a titled knight) was called a dame and it is still an honourary title in Great Britain (for example the actress Dame Judi Dench)

However, in America I believe you use the word dame as just slang for woman

Ding ding ding ding we have a winner


A virtuous man is a chivalrous man. A virtuous woman is a chase woman.
