Sometimes I wonder where the **** common sense went.

Vicki seems to be searching for it INSIDE of Dan:(
 
This has nothing to do with this thread but I thought I would share.
In my History class there's this kid (kainedamo) who sits in the corner and talks to himself while laughing. We're not even sure he's supposed to be in the class but everyones too afraid to ask him.

Today he decided to sniffle the entire class period and a new girl finally turned around and asked him if he wanted some cold medicine. He replied "Sure you got some??!". So she gave him the medicine and he put it on his desk and stared at it the whole period, snapping his fingers and talking to himself.

The end.

No, that's called consideration.

Being chivalrous means having masculine power, but knowing when to use it.

Do you like women who shave?
So a man opening a door for a woman isnt chivalrous?
Or pulling out her chair when she sits, or standing when she leaves the table. Those arent chivalrous actions to you.
What exactly is a chivalrous action by your definition?

kainedamo reminds me of my friend, who got a crush on his friend and then accidentally left his MSN history open while she was around... and she saw that he had a crush on her and was planning to ask her out that day, so she avoided him.

kainedamo, the lesson is, Vicki likes to **** Dan.

Of course they are, when the man does them.

That's the definition of chivalry, having knightlike qualities.

A woman cannot be inherently chivalrous any more than a man can inherently be feminine.

A woman can do many things that, if a man did them, would be chivalrous, but it's not considered such.
 
I always hold the door open for people. And if they don't say "Thank you" I get pissed. Just like if I let someone drive infront of me and they dont give me the wave, I hope their car explodes.
 
Chivalry is dead and theres no revivaling it. Men and women killed it through a long painful death. People may practice but its hopeless to really.

So, Joan of Arc can be chivalrous but I cant when I open a door for someone just because I dont have an extra appendage?

You dont consider those actions to be chivalrous but that old lady on the subway? She does...

If a woman gives the old woman her seat, it's considerate, not chivalrous. If a man does it, it's chivalrous.

Joan of Arc cannot be chivalrous either, because she's not male. It's a male quality.

Look it up in a dictionary.

You can't change the meaning of a word, because you want to do so. It's like complaining that rain doesn't mean sunshine.
