Let me rephrase: if a man does not perpetuate civil is that potentially sexist and misogynist and abusive unless the individual woman indicates that she does not need nor desire such treatments because of our own personal preferences?
Chivalry isn’t equality. That’s obvious. And I’m not interested in that right now. What I am asking you is this: is chivalry equity?

A lot of the rules of chilvery and courtship stem back to this one priest in old court days who hated women and basically wrote a satire but people didn’t realize it was satire and a bunch of authors got hired by knights to clean up their bad reps so they took inspiration from that guy. Then all the courts read that stuff and went “oh my god we are uncivilized?” and those stories were the only ones at the time that gave women power so they liked them. Men were huge romance readers too and they

It’s not sexist or misogynistic necessarily. I don’t get offended when ppl aren’t chivalrous. But I do feel very flattered and happy when people are. So it’s a boost, but not a requirement as a human being, I guess, if I understood your question correctly.

realized all the women were hot for it and so they started doing it. The knights also need motivation because they basically got screwed and usually inherited nothing/got sent to die so they’d just SA and pillage. But the stories convinced some of them that if they behaved well they’d get mad wenches. So the question is will behaving well still get you mad wenches? In certain circumstances yes.
