Chivalry

OK, girls, here’s the deal. I doubt that King Arthur opened many doors for himself. But it wasn’t because anyone thought he couldn’t. It was because his subjects didn’t think such a glorious hero of battle should have to take care of such a mundane consideration as a door. It breaks our hearts that you should think we open doors to objectify you or because we think you’re weak. When a man opens a door for you, take it as it’s probably meant: as a gesture of homage to a being just a little elevated above his own dusty sphere.
