‘Chivalry is dead’: What men just aren’t doing anymore
Article here. Excerpt:
'Is Chivalry dead? After a grown man practically trampled me to get on the bus recently, I’d be inclined to say yes.
He was in a suit and fun socks (boring finance bros tend to think quirky socks make them look fun), and he was on the verge of elbowing me to get a seat.
I was unnerved by his rugby scrum approach to public transport, it was a bit much for 8 a.m. and buses come every 10 minutes – but I wasn’t shocked
It wasn’t very chivalrous, but is that even a thing anymore? Is men letting women go first on public transport a dead concept?
Did it die when we started advocating for fair pay and the rights to our bodies? Is the price of equality that men just aren’t that polite anymore?
I want equal pay and men to follow the Titanic rule of women and children first.'

Female entitlement
The entire social context for chivalry has been vacated. But women still want the entitlements stemming from it w/out any of the obligations. Bloody typical.
