Chivalry is dead, it was killed by women.

I once read this sentence in the YT section and it got me thinking.

Is it really so? Have men stopped being gentlemen because they feel that we women don't want it or worst case scenario, that we don't deserve it? What did our grandmothers do differently when they lived in a time when men held the door for them, took their coats to the coat rack, and a time when you lived with one person your whole life?

It was a time when women welcomed men home with a hot dinner, no, not the kind they ordered with one click through an app and unpacked from a plastic wrapper. With an authentic home-cooked dinner. We can argue, yes, but that was a different time, nowadays we're busier and don't have time to cook. But what makes us busier? Building more meaningful relationships with our loved ones, working towards being a better partner to one's spouse and a role model to children? Probably not completely. By following other people's lives on IG, online shopping, and watching Netflix? Probably more so.

Then how is it possible that even back then, women went to work, and took care of the kids and the household, and yet the man and kids had a home-cooked meal? Every single day. There was no quick fix for that. There were no food deliveries. You are speechless, aren't you?

Chivalry is dead. But what has contributed to the gradual demise of gentlemanliness? It was our loud shouting that men are useless and we don't need them? Or our guilty feeling when a man wants to pay for our dinner? Or that we stopped cooking at home? And is there any way to reverse it?

Let's try to revive it by realizing that we do need those men. Honey, who's gonna be there for you when you're sick? Besides the onion and your mom on the phone? Your man. Who are you gonna send to the store for tampons when that time of the month comes? Yep, your man! And he will gladly do it for you because he loves you. He'd do so much more for you, you just have to let him. And what can you do in return?

At least cook him a delicious home-cooked dinner. If you don't know what to cook for him, browse my website for inspiration. And next time, let him pay for that date night dinner out.
