Chivalry: Dead or Alive?

Chivalry is a word derived from French word "chevalerie", which itself is derived from a couple of words. In modern times Chivalry refers to the act of courteous behavior, primarily towards a woman. So many movies portray how they think women should be treated. often times the courtesy shown rarely corresponds to what actually occurs in real life. I mean i recall seeing once in a movie where a guy threw his blazer over a puddle and in the words of Cris Carter and Keyshawn Johnson "Come on Man"! Ladies this isn't REALITY.

There are other occasions where chivalrous behavior is reality such as: opening a door for women, pulling her chair out, going to the door to retrieve her, bringing her flowers on a first date, etc... these aforementioned things can in fact happen. I think often times what is and should be a reality is becoming more and more what shaped by what a woman sees another man do for their lady. Women play this role as if they understand that every guy is different, but realistically crave to have what they see other women receive. The Real question is: Why aren't guys chivalrous towards certain women?

I CAN DO IT MYSELF!

LIL WEBBIE said it best: INDEPENDENT do you know what that means or for the ladies Destiny's Child: Bills, Bills, Bills and Independent Women. All these songs are indicative of why the chivalry you long for is eroding ( that means disappearing, lol). The notion that you all are independent and equal to men ruined your chivalry. Man was built on the notion that he is the provider and protector and women began to takeover these roles. I know women are about to go off talking about how men should step up and take more responsibility, but will you allow them to? I know how many single parent homes are ran by women. Aren't some of these homes that way by choice? I've seen it for myself where the woman keeps the male away, haven't you as well?

Chivalry was a part of being a man. The part where the woman was the Queen and not the King! Can we blame our men as well? Yes! Men should stand up and be Men. Seriously, how long and often can you take having to do more than expected and being brow-beaten before you give up ladies? Chivalry is bigger than just Men its something that women of the past earned for treating their men as king; just as the men treated them like queens!

Imagine me picking you up for a date, Ha; first of all you have to make it to that point. You cannot expect a  guy to meet you in a club after you've worked his joint to the point of erection to seriously take you as a woman. Especially if after he rings you he doesn't ask you out yet to come to your crib and you all can drink and chill. Whatever chivalry he has has went into the Coconut Ciroc bottle. Who's fault is this the males or the females. Most females will say the male, but they know the truth. The second you invited the guy to your crib or came to his crib to chill; however it went he's lost his chivalry and this is the Woman's fault. Guys are naturally instinctive and routinely react to signs that a woman gives off.

When you allow your guy friend to entertain the idea that his getting that "Pussy" before you allow him to entertain the fact that you are a REAL WOMAN, what do you think you're gonna get in return???

Do I think chivalry is dead? No,  I do not. I think times change. Just as Women were wanting so many changes to benefit themselves. I think guys want to receive some of those behaviors that they consider to be chivalrous! The good book said it best in Matthew 7:12 "Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets", or as you most notably say do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Women have to get back to their natural element of providing and enabling a Man to be a Man before they can complain about how he's not treating them like a Woman! What's you opinion?

STAY TUNED!
