Chivalry

What happened to chivalry? Why don't guys open car doors for women anymore? It seemed like it happened not that long ago. 2 generations, chivalry was the normal. Talking to old friends helped me realize this. Men used to be chivalrous. We would be the gentlemen and we would be respectable. We would open doors and pay for a date. It seems as if those days are gone. Maybe that is what is happening with marriages today. Men are not being chivalrous and are not treating women the way they should be treated. Part of me is saddened when I see what has happened to our generation. But the other part of me wants to make a change. Just because my generation doesn't open doors doesn't mean I don't have to. Maybe if I change, others will change if I do too. I can only hope that I can make the older generations that know what chivalry looks like proud and treat women respectfully and the way they should be treated.
