Did femanism kill chivalry?

Question

Who wants to open a door or pull out a chair for a woman when you're afraid they'll slap you and say I can do it myself? IMO femanism has been a big part of the break down of the family structure. Who wants to be with a woman that won't treat her man like a man and let him be the head of the household like is meant to be?

And no I'm not a sexist! I'm not saying woman shouldn't be able to vote or hold jobs for the same pay. But there is a certain order that is necessary for the family structure to work and feminism killed it! Maybe the Q should have been "Did femanism kill the family".

Answer 1

Feminism in this day and age has gone too far. Originally, when the concept of feminism was first started, it was not about 'i can do anything a man can do but better and any man who tries to help me is sexist'.  Society has morphed feminism into a bra-burning, man-hating frenzy.   The actual definition of feminism is "the doctrine advocating social, political, and all other rights of women equal to those of men. "

So to answer your question, I think that our society's definition of feminism did kill chivalry.

BUT, I will say that your comment about the man being the 'head of the household like it is meant to be', is considered sexist.  There is no reason why women cannot be fully functional as the heads of the household--just as men.

Answer 2

I wouldn't say feminism has killed chivalry, I think it has killed men. Too many guys are afraid to be a man and end up being a pu$$y when it comes to girls. Like they buy drinks for them for no reason, kiss up to the girl, put her on a pedestal, all that stuff. Too many guys aren't dominant, and thats a huge turn off for women, if only subconscious. The feminists can disagree, say women aren't naturally submissive and all that, but it is true. I'm not saying either is better than the other.

What in the h**l is femanism?

Answer 4

No. Just because a woman is a feminist doesn't imply that she will not accept gentlemenly-like behavior. Kindness and consideration--and care for others we are dating is generally well recieved by women, whether they consider themselves feminists or not. Sharing in the responsibilities of a marriage is what makes a healthy marriage. It doesn't necessarily imply that a woman is vying for control, or that the man is whooped. It may mean that they care for one another, and that they also know that many hands make light work.

You say the man should be the head of the household like it is meant to be. It is only meant to be that way, if both the husband and wife agree to it, and both actually want the marriage to be conducted that way. If not, there can be resentment, which is unhealthy for marriage and parenting.

I don't think that men are necessarily meant to be the head of the household, just because that is how it has been, especially in the 1950's and 1960's. Time, my friend is the key here. Ever since war time, when men were off to war, and women were expected to take over the jobs they left behind to help the economy, it has become acceptable, and often necessary for them to take on roles that were, in the past, typically men's.

The only way feminism can kill the family, is if the discourse between the husband and wife over the roles, effects the family functioning, and the care of the children.

Answer 5

Yes!!!

Answer 6

i think so i don't like femanist women just like i don't like sexist men i don't see a diffrence between the two

Answer 7

The only way feminism could have killed the family is if men were unwilling to accept changes in society regarding the status of women.

Anyone here ever heard of anomie? If not, go look it up. It might explain a few things.
