I gave up chivalry long ago. Women want not only to be equal to men; they want to be interchangeable. Why should I give up my seat on a subway or bus to a woman who is equal to me? Equality means equally competing for seats.
Furthermore, I stopped holding doors for women after a thousand times doing it and getting no acknowledgment whatsoever. They behaved as if they were entitled to being equal to me and also having a door held for them.
Sorry, sweetie, I don’t buy it. Equality means equal in everything.
The problem with women today is the women themselves and their attitudes.
I don't want to generalize too much, but certain from the modern-day feminist, they want equality only when it suits them.
One need only look as far as Selective Service--it is still--to my understanding, only the responsibility of men to register, not women. But you don't see feminists complaining, not when they can be on combatant ships, fly airplanes, go on submarines, and get promoted at the same rate as the men.

I’m a 52 year old man. I’ve never held the door open for women.
I only hold the door open for people.
I always get acknowledged. Where are you looking? At her butt? Her chest? I look them in the eye and smile. Try it sometime. It works.
If it not inconvenient to do so, I simply hold the door for whoever is behind me. Problem solved.
