“Feminism killed chivalry” like…no it didn’t? If anything, feminism encourages chivalry.
Out in public with the guys and one of your friends makes a sexist comment about a female friend/stranger? Rise to her defense. She’s a human being and she doesn’t exist for you. She exists only for herself. You won’t tolerate this kind of talk.
At a bar or club, and you see a man slip something in to a drink/relentlessly pursuing a woman despite her many protests? Tell him to knock it the hell off. Get her out of this situation safely. He’s an enemy of women, which means he’s an enemy of yours if this code of chivalry means so much to you.
If you insist on being a warrior for women, then be a warrior for women. Listen to the things that we say and need and ask for.

Chivalry was about knightly/gentlemanly behavior. What “feminism killed chivalry” actually translates to is “feminism decreased the amount of benevolent sexism I get away with, feminism happened and now I have to treat women like fully capable people, feminism exists and I have to stop being an asshole or people call me on it”

Little does Stiles know that the teacher who started writing him
letters a few months into his last deployment with the Army would become
the person he would lean on the most when his life changes forever.
(I wanted to post this again with the second part because I fixed them up so they’re a little better and I realized I did like the second part.)
