Chivalry had always been an important thing for me. I've always judged men based on it, and turned those down quickly who lacked it right off the bat.
But last night (and by that I mean at around 3:10 AM this morning) I started questioning this blind following of chivalry. I understand the role it plays in cultures where the two genders have very divided roles. It's a game, and the dynamics of it maintain balance.
But I'm living in a country women fought hard in for their rights and am happy to benefit from the result. Other than obvious physiological characteristics, I am no different from a man. I mean, this is exactly what the cultures that believe men are superior to women are most afraid of. Complete independence.
I'm not saying it isn't nice when someone helps you out. Of course, that is always cherished... but should the motive be based on my gender?
I realized that if I like to be independent, be accepted for being fully independent, and can always ask for help myself if I want to, there really is no actual necessity for chivalry. Yes? No?





i am thinking of become a make up artist myself, i was wondering how long one has to go to school to accomplish this..
