Evelyn: I, for one, like it when a guy holds a door open for me.
Nerissa: Oh yeah, I totally agree with you there.
Evelyn: But some girls don't!!
Nerissa: Seriously?
Evelyn: Yeah!
Nerissa: Why not?
Evelyn: Well, they think that it disempowers them. It shows
that men are "superior" and that women are "weak."
Nerissa: Oh, that's ridiculous.
Evelyn: Yeah, I think so too. I do believe that women should have all the rights that men do, and I would even call myself a Feminist, but I believe that feminists contribute to the decline in chivalry and the lack of general manners in the male sex.
Nerissa: Elaborate, please.
Evelyn: I've heard stories about women getting offended when a man a) holds open a door for her, b) hold a chair out for her, c)
offers to do some form of physical labour for her, etc. etc.
Nerissa: What is their reaction?
Evelyn: "I can do it myself!," "Hey,
just because I'm a girl doesn't mean I can't do (insert form of manual labour here)!"
And honestly, if women react this way, men will not want to perform these niceties for them anymore!

Nerissa: That's obnoxious.
Evelyn: Agreed. I knew you would understand.
Nerissa: That's what I'm here for!
I have heard about that the kind of thing to---how some women are offended when guys open the door for them---it is pretty strange. I liked the pictures you used and had a good laugh with that middle one.
ReplyDeleteAgreed! I've witnessed reactions from women/girls like this--it's odd.
ReplyDeleteWomen can be viewed and treated as equals while also being the benefactors of chivalry. I don't understand feminism when it goes to the extremes you speak of.
Good work! I liked the final picture the most! ha
Thanks guys!! Yeah it's totally ridiculous. I'm glad to see that some guys will still be chivalrous regardless of the bad reactions they might get :)
ReplyDeleteAgreed. But I would hold out a door out of common decency rather than being chivalrous to be honest.
