Just like I can open my own door, but my husband does it; he can cook, but I do it. He opens the door to show that I am special and cared for, I cook him wonderful meals to show he is special and cared for.
Your perceptions are shadowed by your own, constant, nagging agenda.
Agreed. Seems some men whine more about unfairness than women. There's nothing wrong with chivalry. And there is also nothing wrong with wanting a housewife.
Those things are rare in today's modern times. So, for the younger crow under 39, who aren't married and still looking, it may be harder to find for people who like the traditional roles. But they do exist. And there's nothing wrong with them, so long as neither partner thinks of one as lesser.
Like if a guy wants a housewife who cooks, cleans, and is great with the sex, that's fine. Long as he doesn't see or treated her as a lowly servant, and someone to not take seriously just because he works and earns the money. Both parts are equal in different ways.
It's like Leaders and Followers. The followers get seen as losers for some. But a leader is nothing if nobody is following, and can't do everything alone. Leaders need followers, and vise-verse, and a good leader doesn't dismiss and abuse his followers simply because they defer to him. And a follower may have a thought or notion now and then. A good leader will listen.
Same for the women who like chivalry. It is fine to want that. But don't think the man is a servant to do your bidding. To want that great, but be appreciative in your own ways to him as well.
So it's good to want things, just not to be so focused on taking that you don't give anything yourself.

Yes, I do like it. And yes, I'm sensitive to the intentions. But, like the other women here, it isn't all one sided. This is just one way that the other person in the relationship can show they care. The other side is what I do. I don't expect everything to be done for me, I appreciate very much when things are done just because that's what they do, and what they want to do.Not because they do it for an agenda. It shows a quality person, I think.
Not the case. I don't have any problems finding chivalrous men to date, but then again I'm in an older age group where men think differently than youngsters do, apparently.
I was raised to appreciate and value a chivalrous man, and I do. I raised my son to be chivalrous as well and he is 21. No, definitely not dead, thank GOD.

Yeah no kidding. I cook for the household, I plate everyone their food, I pour his coffee or drink if I'm getting my own, I clean the house..etc. It's a two way street in this house. He treats me well and I treat him well.
I don't go by what women say, I go by their actions. I tried opening a door for some women because I wanted to be nice. Of course, they called me a sexist jerk claiming "I can open my own doors!" So I let women open their own doors. Chivalry is dead.
Good riddance. Kindness shouldn't be gender-specific.
