When I'm ...Call in the cavalry, save chivalry!<br /><br />When I'm socializing with little boys (30ish), I don't expect them to have been "raised right," but I still find myself tsk-tsking that they don't do the nice things—open a door, pull out a chair, offer their seat on the bus to a woman.<br /><br />When my husband (late 50s) and I are out, I am pleased when he remembers to open a door (even if I have to stand before a closed door waiting for him to get a clue). He wasn't "raised right," either, but that wasn't from a generational gap, that was from a mother who wasn't of genteel stock, shall we stay.<br /><br />Why is chivalry relevant to me? It's part of my culture, I guess. At least the culture I like to put on a pedestal and on which I project all manner of noble traits. It may not be the same culture that Filipinos in succeeding generations have conjured up to fit their needs.<br /><br />You raised a good question.
