Exactly

Day by Day is a daily read, and today, he makes the point that chivalry is a credo that required as much from women as from men.


If you want to be treated like a lady, act like a lady.  Chivalrous men will respond in kind.  It's a point that Instapundit makes frequently, and it's one that I stress in all my relationships.

Chivalry isn't about opening doors.

  2. This is the most defining thing that Mason & Dixon's Line shows us. Below the line, the two-way principle of Chivalry (from French, "like Knights") prevails, while above the Line, it is not the rule, gets scarcer the farther one gets from the Line.
