Different Definitions of Chivalry


An idea developed first by Queen Eleanor of England. Basically, it encouraged gentlemenly
behavior between knights, and proposed a system of courting ladies to gain their hearts
instead of dragging them home by their hair (sarcasm).


the medieval knightly system with its religious, moral and social code.

the combination of qualities expected of an ideal knight, especially courage, honour, courtesy, justice, and a readyness to help the weak.

courteous behaviour, especially that of a man towards women.


Choosing to not rape a woman, just because you want to.
Jon: "Hey, Jonathan, that bitch is fine."
Jonathan: "Yeah, but in the name of chivalry, we probably shouldn't rape her."
Jon: "Yeah, you're right. Damn it."

shocked shocked

The act of a self-deluded sucker. Self-destructive self-sacrifice in favor of those
seeking to exploit or destroy the practioner. Self-debasement to those seeking
exploitive profit and lack of due recriprocation. Often stupidly misconstrued by those practicing as honorable or altuistic.

Many travesties of justice, self-destruction, and the concealment and promotion of evil have come from the chivalry of fools.

lipsrsealed lipsrsealed

that's when the girl she goes to get out and the guy opens the door and throws her shit out with her,
so she doesnt have to go back in and get it all herself it's a nice gesture of chivalry

"get outta here bitch and take your damn cat too!"

Chivalry makes sense abroad but is stupid in Nigeria. If you're chivalrous, a Nigerian girl will just walk all over you. You have to be slightly arrogant and show you're a man and not some ass-kisser. If possible bitc-slap the girl every once in a while. grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin

what a very stupid comment to make. . .no one is asking you to be chivalrous, but at least show her some respect . what makes you a man is not how often you slap a girl or that you even slap a girl at all. see this irresponsible, arrogant, undisciplined men. . .you wan slap a girl like she's a game. come slap me and from that day you'll know why they say women can be devils. oloshi

Interesting issue raised, @ topic.

Regardless of origin African, European, or whatever. Respect shown as well as manners are noble, but should there also be a battle of the sexes demanding chivalry without the inferiority complex? @topic Please reply. Thanks.

if one is treating a woman as inferior then one cannot call that chivalry. But, with the way things are going were a girl is expected to pay her side of the bill on a date whethere it be a restaurant, tickets transportation e.t.c it looks like the days of the knights has ended. What we cant forget is u ladies fought and u fought hard for this though u might not think so. What did u expect when u wanted equal rights. You cant eat the icing on the cake and want the cake to look pretty at the same time or something like that
Re: Should Chivalry Die In This Age Of Equality? by Zirconia(f): 11:36am On Apr 08, 2008
I think men and women should treat each other with respect.

Physically, a man is stronger than a woman.


Spiritually and soulwise men and women are equal.


I don't know about chivalry but I no that if a man likes a woman he is appreciative of her and is constantly thinking about ways to make her life easier.


If a woman likes a man she is appreciative of him and constantly looks for ways to make his life easier.


Go figure!

Given that most civillized people accept women are equal to men. is there still a place for chivalry?? i believe no since women should be able to perform similar duties as men and shouldn't be treated as fragile beings. chivalry is a remnant of victorian era sexism so why should it continue to exist. i see no reason why it is job of men to open the doors or pay for dates all the time. anyway state your viewpoint

Chivalry died when the woman though she was unequal to men.
And now she wants to be equal
Define equal, and who told you that your not?
Man and Woman live simultaneously, ying and yang, without one the other can not be!
So their should be question about equality!
Man and woman need to find unity!
Before Christianity came who were you, and what was your position?

Chivalry still exists, it could be far-fetched but it exists, even in Africa Nigeria. Yes i can testify to that for sure. A man respecting his partner is one thing and at the same time being courteous and chivalrous is unquestionably rare but a wonderful package. wink

Do it if ur partner's worth it.

It mustn't die.

there is a difference between chivalry and chauvism.
take this example:
a house is burning and a mother is shouting for help.i bet u , 99.99999999% (error margin +/-.000000001)of the time its a brave guy that jumps into the inferno and rescue's the woman(y not a woman).this is chivalry and it shouldnt die.
when the world trade center collasped, we all saw pictures and head stories of how brave men(y were there no women) gave their lives to save people?
is it not chivalry!!!!it should not die.
any woman saying that it should die is just living in a fools paradise because when she is in a dangerous situation and she needs help , she wll be open to help from any male , who as i said 99.99999%(error margin +/- .000001) of the time will be a male to her rescue.

chivalry is not chauvism!!!
women should seek equity(equal opportunities) not equality(a woman cannot pee in a bottle) angry

If u catch d chic, end d chivalry straight up, save 4 any special occasionz or sumfin. Too much of anythin is bad. 9ja girls are one of the most pampered in the world. It's hard 2 believe but it's true. Anyone who has lived outside 9ja will confirm this. Reminds me of back in d days wen ma sis will call n beg me 2 come back home early to turn on d generator wen all she had to do was turn a key, and she could drive. U don't do nearly as much 4 white women. Ironically, 9ja girls r the ones who complain the most. Dat's y it's hard 4 dem to get guyz outside 9ja n wat do dey do wen dat happens? Turn around n blame it on d 9ja brodas tellin us its our fault cos we're always talking shit abt dem. grin I just luv ma 9ja sistahs. grin
