Can chivalry and feminism coexist?

If chivalry is largely about men being deferential to women and doing things for them even without request, even expected for a man to be considered 'polite' or 'gentlemanly', then hell yes, it coexists just fine with feminism.

What the author of this article has failed to grasp is the true nature of feminism. Feminism is not now nor has it ever been about equality or justice. Indeed, its earliest goals served these interests no doubt, but the founders of feminism had their sites set on much loftier aims than getting the vote guaranteed under the Constitution. Feminism is about GOODIES. Getting GOODIES, whatever they may be. Anything that gets women more GOODIES, preferably at the expense of men, is a goal of feminism. Can feminism as it pursues these goals contribute to the common good? It may do so in some cases, but only tangentially. From the standpoint of men, men may get some benefit out of feminists getting some goal met or largely met, but it will come at a much higher price for men. Example is professional work opportunities. As women get more of them, men get less. As trends continue, women will have become clearly dominant in terms of numbers and management positions in nearly every profession (and by 'profession' I mean the classic professions recognized as such by law and custom), if not all of them, by 2050. What benefit will men see to this? Maybe some men will find they gain some economic benefit from women that they are involved with romantically as the women they are with outearn them and thus end up paying more for common costs simply because the man cannot afford to. But what will the man have lost because of this? Answer: His chance to be a professional. As I said, there may be some benefit to some men when feminist goals get met, but it will be tangential, and men will have paid a great price for anything they get from it.

Another dizzy broad. I am having a hard time finding an intelligent woman who can express herself logically in writing... everything they write seems emotionally driven. Women are either self-responsible (in which case they open their own door) or they're not (in which case some man will do it for them). This isn't all that complicated. But typically, like so many other women, this broad thinks that she can have her cake and eat it too. It's up to us guys to say "sorry - can't have it both ways."
