Chivalry is dead - thank christ.
I can't understand why a small portion of men still trip over themselves to hold doors open or give up their seats on public transport for thankless women. I've worked in a major city for nearly 11 years, and it took me only a few unacknowledged gestures to throw in the towel. Now I hold doors only for women who are friends, only give up my seat for pregnant or elderly women and don't even bother smiling at or greeting unknown women in my office. We're living in a new era gentlemen.
