While you could make the argument that chivalry is sexist, I don't think that paying for my date's dinner is an act of sexual oppression. Some socialization can be dangerous, but I don't see an inherent harm in opening the door for a women- in fact, that could be interpreted as a sign of respect. <br />There are some relevant hypocrisies in feminism (the struggle to include black feminism into the discussion of mainstream feminism for example), but chivalry is not an example of sexism if it is approached the right way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9204080274406469.post-30414193812248430722012-04-01T12:42:23.270-07:002012-04-01T12:42:23.270-07:00Hey Alexa, I think you are making two different ar...Hey Alexa, I think you are making two different arguments. Chivalry and Feminism in my opinion has nothing to do with each other. Men and women should be equal in all aspects. Opening doors, driving women homes, etc does not put men on a different level, that is just about being a gentleman. When it comes to feminism, i do believe men and women should have equal pay for work if the same amount of work is being done. I don't believe it is right for women to hit men or vice versa, but to be more realistic, men are stronger than women, physically so while a women's hit would probably hurt, a Man's can do much more damage on a women. <br /><br />When it comes to music, it is an issue about respect for women. it is the fact that men think it is ok to talk down to women. Have you noticed that men don't really do the same to other men. have you ever wondered why that was the case? <br /><br />Now i don't really consider myself a feminist because like you said they do sometimes take advantage of their position, but i still wouldn't add chivalry into this argument. Chivalry just has something to do with being a kind person, it has nothing to do with being below women in any sense in my opinion. I would expect you to hold the door for somebody behind you whether you are a male or female just out of common courtesy.Tiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10583614067509761832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9204080274406469.post-29175625347162065072012-03-14T10:56:24.719-07:002012-03-14T10:56:24.719-07:00While I agree with many of your points in regard t...While I agree with many of your points in regard to the hypocrisy of many modern feminists, you can't deny that we are still far from complete equality between the sexes in many spheres of life. Also, quite a few female artists do more than complain about men. See Taylor Swift's "Mine" and "Love Story".
