Are you the Perfect Gentleman?

It saddens me to say that in today's society, the majority of men do not know how to treat women. This led me to thinking. What happened to chivalry? Is chivalry dead?

Before I get into my analysis, here is a little background on what exactly is the term "chivalry". Chivalry was a term used to describe the characteristics of knighthood. Knights were known to be chivalrous because they were courteous to women. We can apply this same term to men who treat women with respect and courtesy in today's society. Although there are some good gentlemen out there who still practice chivalry and treat women well, we are seeing a lot more ***holes and a lot less chivalry taking place nowadays.

Ladies for the most part want to be treated as princesses. Some men and women may think that this treatment will strip the women of their independence but that is just a misconception. It is ultimately up to the woman how she wants to be treated. But gentlemen should always try to be chivalrous regardless.
