FEMINISTS
It is believed to have started with feminists; swapping the word chivalrous for chavinistic. They believed when a man held the door open or paid the cheque it was because they didn't think the woman was capable of doing it for herself.
Therefore the breed of traditional gentlemen have been slowly dying out because they quit the chivalrous acts due to too many women thinking of them as undermining and patronising.
Having said that it is because of these feminists that women live in a world of choice today. Women can decide if they want to stay at home and be a house wife or if they want to be a strong, independent career woman with an equally strong loving husband by their side.
CONFUSION
Overall, men just don't know where they stand with women. Some want to be independent and not reliant on men so they have to be careful about not offending them.
Sean O'Rourke is one of the many men changing his ways: "I used to be such a gentleman but always ended up in the friend zone."
When asked about chivalry versus chauvinism: "Girls go for bad boys. They will ask for chivalry but it's the jerks that come out on top."
"I speak from experience, I have been having much more fun since I started acting more arrogant and thinking about myself."
Perhaps he needs to find himself a real woman.
