I am a 59 year old woman - and yes I do think the age of chivalry is dissappearing. Unfortunately, I think women have to shoulder the blame for a lot of this.
If men are continually 'put down' when they try to be polite or chivalress (spelt wrong) they will eventually stop the practice.
Womans Lib in itself was good to project women as equal in society but has esculated to an idea of 'better than men'.
It is a males natural instinct to protect the 'gentler' sex just as it is a natural instinct of women to nurture.
