Suzanne Venker: Chivalry is dead because women killed it
Fox News ^ | 1 May 2018 | Suzanne Venker

Posted on 05/01/2018 4:46:28 PM PDT by Rummyfan

A friend of mine whose mother died recently was going through her parents’ memorabilia and unearthed a Western Union telegram from 1954 that her father sent her mother just before they married. Here’s what it said:

Darling, I shall be waiting for you at eight. With a lifetime of expectancy. My heart will be coming with you down the aisle. May God be with us tonight as we pray we will always be with Him. Thank you for becoming my wife. My love forever yours, Henry

Several days after I’d read this note, I came across this miserable tripe on Facebook: “Chivalry is harmful to both men and women,” relays the woman in the video. “because it reinforces this idea that women need to be helped or saved by a stronger man. And it takes away a woman’s agency.”

The video is part of an "Unpopular Opinion" series on Facebook, a concept that in theory I’d support. But there’s nothing unpopular about a video that sells the same tired message feminists have sold for years and subsequently became the status quo: that men and women are “equal” and should therefore be treated the same.

Women can open their own doors, pull out their own chairs and take care of themselves, women have argued for years. “I’m strong enough to do all these things,” notes the woman in the video, who identifies herself as Emily Panic, as she flexes her arm muscles to viewers.

Left wing militant females forget that the “women and children first” ideal worked PRETTY well as the Titanic sank. Now it would be a**holes and elbows if a ship should sink with the same demographic on board.

I married a woman, not an immature little girl. She likes chivalry. She expects it!

The author is describing the little girls that are not strong enough to handle chivalry. They are ignorant in not knowing that chivalry has nothing to do with muscular strength.

“They dont deserve it anymore.”

Deserving has nothing to do with it. I don’t do it for them.

I do it for me.

I’ve held the door for those behind me, especially women. It is just common courtesy. Women have told me on more than one occasion, “I can open it myself.” Granted it is rare, but those moments do stick. In retrospect, I should have replied, “Fine. Next time I will let it slam in your face, then.” (and swallow the trailing reference to a female dog)

What Are You Squawking About?

What are you squawking about?
What are you squawking about?
You women who fought to get equal rights
Then cut off your hair and stayed out at night,
Just go on and smoke all you please,
And drink till you’re weak in the knees.
But if you’re in a crowd and they tromp on your feet,
And no one gets up to give you a seat,
And they don’t tip their hat when you walk down the street,
Well, What are you squawking about, about?
What are you squawking about?

--Carson Robison, 1932

Leftist females killed chivalry and made men grovel to them in the workplace, academia and schools. Sex robots are about to deprive them of men completely. enjoy the vibrators, womyn!

If that disaster were repeated today, the survivors would mostly be young men who would have had the strength to muscle their way into the lifeboats.

I've never had a woman fuss at me for holding a door. But if I do have it happen, my response will be, "I hold the door for men, children, and women. Is that OK with you?"

My particular peeve with all of these so-called “equal and empowered” women is the fact that they think they can do things that, for a man, would earn him a punch in the face - or worse. I had one woman two inches from my nose screaming the most vile obscenities at me in a public place over a minor dispute that could have easily been ignored by both of us. Can you imagine if I had treated her as an “equal” to me? “Oh my God! You struck a woman! Police! Police!”

In court she would have shown up in a dress and a bow in her hair and the meekest expression throughout the entire procedure. That’s my experience with today’s liberated feminists. They want to have it both ways at all times and usually get it. No wonder the MGTOW movement began...

And that, in microcosm, is why women make less than men.

Ya know who the future belongs to..?

Whichever group has the most babies.

I don’t care HOW screwed up that culture is, if it has the most kids..?

It WINS.

Right now it looks like that will not be Norway, not Iceland, not us, not Japan.

IT IS FREAKING ***MALI***.

Think about that.

Let us start with some basics. The average male can break the average female in half. The average very fit male can break the average very fit female in half. Physical differences are not limited to this advantage. Human behavior will be influenced by these physical differences no matter how loudly you condemn the behavior.

I was being trained by a woman at a hospital volunteer:

I opened the door for her and she shot at me,

“Are you a MALE CHAUVINIST PIG..?”

Not kidding.

Here’s the funny part:

She (and millions like her) do not even know what the word CHAUVINIST means.

They seriously don’t know.

My ex had a friend who hated all men, especially me. At some point my ex started wondering if there was some funny business amongst them.
