interesting.
do you view acts of chivalry as largely performative?
i would consider them as kindness and courtesy, so i'm curious to understand your perspective.
thanks for answering, btw ^.^

it's more of an equality thing for me, i'd like to see more courtesy and kindness regardless of the gender of the recipient.
imo, i shouldn't be entitled to that just because of the way i was born 😹
yeah, i try to answer these, especially since there weren't any other replies yet 💜
ah, that makes sense. i can see the differences in our perspectives. :3
though, i will say, chivalry doesn't mean you should feel entitled to anyone's courtesy.
thanks again~! ^^
Common courtesy should just be common I mean when did that stop? Oh I remember something he told me always leave with the girl you brought the dance to something. His father had said and I was like OK weirdo whatever
chivalry is like a layer on top of common courtesy.
- walking a woman to her car
- offering to carry something for her
- standing up, introducing her first
- offering jacket
- not standing by if a woman is being harassed
- etc etc
