The Death of Chivalry

Chivalry means Knighthood-bravery, nobleness, courtesy, respect for womanly dignity.
Is chivalry dead? Ladies, do we really want those qualities in men that show chivalry to die?
Some months ago on another site, I brought up the subject of chivalry. I commented that I like it when a man holds a door open for me or offers to help me carry a heavy load. I taught my own son to respect women in such a way. I think a man that shows chivalry is a true gentleman.
I received many comments back on the subject. Here are a few of the comments I received:
One said it's admirable, another said desirable. Others agreed it was unnecessary but appreciated.
As I kept reading, the comments took on a darker note. One comment stated that I like being treated as if being a female equals some sort of handicap. Another believes I do not respect men. One called me a uterus-donor ( I don't know what that means, but, it does not sound very
positive.)
The thing what really surprised me was, all the comments came from women. One woman told me she is offended by the idea of a man holding a door open for her just because she is a woman.
So, the question remains, Is chivalry dead? I hope not!
