^ this could be interpreted in so many different ways
Okay--let me rephrase. I dont bite anyone's head off fi they do that. :) However, I do also give up my seat (sometimes) to a old or pregnant person, and I do hold the door for other women or men.
But u know..when the train is crowded and im tired and want a seat, i will make sure to go where there are alot fo men standing. Cz when someone gets up, men are likelier to let a woman sit down. :D
Re: Chivarlry is dead....
...actually, off-color jokes fall under "sexual harrassment" - whether its a joke between just men, just women or in mixed company.
Chivalry can’t be more dead… I mean girl asking guys to come visit her… and guys showing attitude… let alone kissing hand and buying flowers..
Re: Chivarlry is dead....
Chivalry turned gay, cauz women have turned into men.

Don't hold breath on that one:
Here is a joke.
A man sitting in a bus saw few women entering the bus and closed his eyes, the conductor shook him up and said, "No sleeping on the bus!"
He said:
"I ain't sleeping Mr. I just couldn't stand the look of women standing!" :-)
Yes chivalry is thing of medieval especially today.
Women cannot have both ways as it is said earlier by Mmo3.
Actually it is still present here and there and interestingly now some people may think if a man is opening the door for a girl he knows, he is up to no good!!!
Now opening the door or giving up seat for stranger for out of social courtesy even for a same sex person is most likely not chivalry.

Re: Chivarlry is dead....
What is wrong with many of you?
i would hold the door open for a guy/girl that I work with regardless of gender and they would do the same for me. It's a small thing and no one even keeps tabs on this.
I have offered my coat to our first year intern after a an outing, poor girl was shivering while was rocking a wool light yellow Canali shirt with an cotton Armani undershirt, so I was pretty comfortable. A few of my friend-colleagues made cracks about hitting on her but overall no one was insulted and she thanked me. (Btw, I was not hitting on her at all).
My biggest concern with chivalry is that the women in my life know how I roll so there are no misunderstandings, but once I was talking to a hostess late night, during an after work event and I walked her to the car when the restaurant closed. At the car she was like "here is my number, call me" as if I was into her like that. I guess small things like these are no longer in 'style' and women are not as used to it - totally sad.
Re: Chivarlry is dead…
um, walking a girl to her car at night is just good manners. a lot of guys do this simply for safety reasons. that’s all it is. i’m surprised she read more into it… i guess she just liked you. 
girls walk other girls to their car. it’s just common sense to look out for each other.
I know right? I mean she could do whatever she wants in her life but I don’t to be going home and turning on the TV to see her as victim of some crime.
come on i am munni si, bayzarer si kurri 
pm, khud to app bhalooo hoo 
aww pakone
but its true your every good gesture that u do just cuz u fear ALLAH SWT is always seen in a wrong way. 
ps. i think its good to take the number and then trash it.
Zobs, don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining about it and will keep trying to do the right thing because that is what Islam teaches all of us.
One time this older gentleman was struggling with groceries, he lives in my condo but I don’t know him. I saw him on the street and offered to carry some of groceries and we started talking, he told me that he had arthritis and was going to be in much pain after wards and was really grateful. I told him it was nothing but helping a fellow human being in service of G-d. Remember one day we are all going to be old just like that man, so WHY NOT help someone when you can? This is not chivalry, it has nothing to do with gender, and it’s really about following the true teachings of Islam. I keep my religion pretty personal, but the best form of dawah is through positive actions to help those in need.

Pak, i never judge ppl, especially when i only have their single action for judgement. in fact i dont judge anyone at all. lol. i am too occupied analyzing my own actions that i dont get chance to see other.
guys still open doors for me. i still give my space to elderly ppl. i do give my cell phone often to ppl so they can make an urgent call, especially once give my cell phone to an immigrant without realizing that its past 9 pm, and its pretty dangerous. i do give bus tickets to peoples even though my budget is also tight. i also get my self involved and had an argument with a bully cuz he was bullying a hijabi girl. i still pick calls of my friends and listen to their talks even though i personally hate telephone talks. i still wear the dress that my mother asks me to wear, even though i dont like it but it was just to cheer her up.
and guess what my friends are also like that. sometimes one of my friend drops me off home, and until i dont go inside she will not leave me. an other fried is so nice that she can even give her notes on the day of exam. (i think i never gave it to anyone, since i never made any myself).
and i am still meeting some really nice girls and they belong to all sorts of nationality.
well atleast they are nice with me.

Re: Chivarlry is dead....
It's dead because generally, people have become more materialistic and selfish.
Some courtesy still exists - you hold doors open for men and women. I hold doors for guys all the time. I dont think there's anything wrong with that.
But if you're talking about RESPECT for women, i dont think that was ever there to begin with. I think the respect issue has improved - a lot of guys take women seriously in society and really hear us out, which never happened before in "chivalrous" days. So yeah, I dont give a crap if you don't hold doors for me, or don't give me flowers and chocolates.
I dont like flowers anyway, chocolates I buy enough as it is, and I'd rather I be heard as an individual than have all that junk I can now get on my own.
Re: Chivarlry is dead....
Chivalry in its modern form is seen as a way to show women more respect due to her nature of being the weaker of the two sexes. It is not only curtesy but it is also the notion that men have to oblige women, and protect them. It has very much to do with the concept of inequality. Thus my question why is there a need for chivalry if all are equal.
Mind you I don't believe Chivalry is dead, I merely find the hypocrasy of it all rather entertaining. Why should a man open a door for a woman if all is equal? Why should we pay for dinner? Why should we be called up to fix the light bulb? Generic examples that denote a simple fact of life. There are tasks that are suited for men and some for women and that gender equality is impossible. Gender equity is a different matter.
And oh yes a big MMORPG fan. I played D&D - can't anymore, but a huge D&D 2nd Ed. fan. I play WoW and Medic plays WAR.

Only dead to feminazis. And the wannabe feminazis. The feminists. The stubborn women who want to be “EQUAL”.
