Chivalry

Ooookay. A friend of mine wrote about chivalry today, and it really offended me, soooo. Here you go.

Basically, his writing was about how it's so hard for guys to be 'knights' in today's society. They have to give and give and give, and all they get in return is our affection. Which, he went on to state, is nice, but 'do all women really deserve chivalry?'

Ignorance is your new best friend.

I don't know what kind of girls this guy hangs out with, but in the end, most of us girls ARE NOT like that. All I ever expect from a guy is to be a gentleman. Hold the door open for me. Pay me a compliment from time to time. Offer me your gloves if you notice my hands are cold. I'm not asking for expensive gifts, or even for a guy to pay every time we go out. Once in a while, yeah, I'd love that. I like feeling special. But it doesn't have to cost money to make me feel special.

In the end, and in answer to the posed question, yes. All women really deserve chivalry. I'm someone's prize. I deserve to be happy, I deserve to feel pretty, I deserve to be special, and if someone disagrees, they don't deserve to be in my life. That's the black and white of it. I'm sorry if anyone's offended by that, I really don't mean to offend anyone, but that's just what I see.

You know what? I'm done. Sorry for the lack of writing over the last few days, and sorry this isn't longer, and for those of you who are wondering, yes, I had a great evening yesterday, thanks for blowing it out of proportion.

Night Blog, I'm done sharing my emotions, because tonight my emotions are quite negative.

Today's tidbit of advice comes from my boss: 'The best revenge is self-betterment.'
