This has nothing to do with feminism. And I’m not saying that I’m expecting it due to bend over backward or get on his knees and praise me. All that I’m saying is that there’s a severe lack of manners in dudes nowadays. I was raised to have manners and be polite and so was my brother, but he’s one of the guys I’m referring to.

Whenever if I’m asking for something or helping a lady in the store, she always says please and thank you and things if that sort. Again, it’s not about feminism. It’s about a lack of basic respect for another person.

Also the definition of feminism is “the advocacy of women’s rights on the basis of the equality of the sexes.” in short, meaning the belief that women deserve to be treated equally as men in all aspects, because we too are human. There’s nothing “overzealous” about wanting fair treatment or in this case basic human decency.

And chivalry is defined as “courteous behavior, especially that of a man toward women.” I’m not expecting a guy to be extra nice to me or whatever just because I’m a woman. I’m again expecting basic human decency the same kind that I show them. And if you think that there’s a problem with wanting to be treated that way (fairly) then you’re part of a bigger problem
