Title: chivalry vs feminism Post by: ArthK on June 19, 2007, 09:52:59 AM Hi - I have been reading the forum for a while and like it, but have only just got round to actually joining. I thought I would try to write an interesting first post! Here goes...
Imagine you are going away on a business trip with two colleagues - a guy and a girl. You yourself are a guy. As well as being trusted colleagues, they are also good personal friends. The trip is for three weeks, but only two large hotel rooms are available - so there will have to be some room-sharing going on. Chivalry might suggest that, being gentlemen, the guys would offer to share a room for the duration of the trip, ensuring the lady has her own room. However, feminism might argue that the woman should be treated equally to the men, and therefore the fairest option is to rotate who shares with whom, so each colleague gets a week of having their own room, regardless of their gender. I suppose a third option would be to roshambo for it on a daily basis! Whether you are a feminist, a guy, a sick gambler, or all of the above - what is your opinion, and what would you do?

Interesting first post. Not sure of an answer yet. Title: Re: chivalry vs feminism Post by: TightEnd on June 19, 2007, 09:57:53 AM Hello and welcome to blonde ArthK
If I was in that situation, the lady gets her own room. Unless she herself volunteered an alternative! Title: Re: chivalry vs feminism Post by: SuffolkPunch on June 19, 2007, 10:22:38 AM I suppose I could be forced to stay in the bar all night.

I don't really see this as being about chivalry vs feminism, more a right to privacy. The woman should get her own room (unless she wants to share with one of the guys of course!). That's not necessarily inequitable, as, for the same reasons, a lone man travelling with two women should also get the room to himself.

Title: Re: chivalry vs feminism Post by: bolt pp on June 19, 2007, 01:45:59 PM I think political correctness has impacted upon the gentlemans ability to be chivalrous and i think thats a shame but in this instance i think I'd favour towards the the politically correct option of suggesting the lady and i share a room with an equable modern day inter gender understanding.
thats only if shes fit though, if shes a bit of a dog I'd rather go and kip on a park bench Title: Re: chivalry vs feminism Post by: RED-DOG on June 19, 2007, 01:47:45 PM I like a girl with a bit of dog in her.

Title: Re: chivalry vs feminism Post by: madasahatstand on June 19, 2007, 05:48:01 PM I would want my own room as a woman. If it were 2 women and a man, like Claw says, the man would get his own room. Although I support feminism, I quite like chivalry. today for example I was at a conference and was sat next to a man who is about 60. I know him from work. When i took off my jacket he helped me. At the break i stood to put my jacket back on again and there he was helping me on with it. I liked it:) I also like having doors open for me and if a man wants to carry my heavy bags, I would allow this. I think there is a balance to be struck and I suppose whats acceptable to one might not be acceptable to another. Both feminism and chivalry can co-exist in my opinion.

I like to be chivalrous, in fact, I try to be helpful as much as I can - it makes life easier. I'll hold a door open for a woman, but I'll also hold it open for a man. I'd even hold it open for Kev (as long as it was the exit). However, what you're saying there MAAHS would upset a lot of feminists. Title: Re: chivalry vs feminism Post by: KingPoker on June 19, 2007, 05:56:13 PM I believe in chivalry and always will and in my experience I have never ever come across a woman, lady, girl who has been offended by me being this way.
My question is, has any real woman (not one of those power lesbians or shrill feminist activists) ever actually been offended by a chivalralous (sp?) man, i doubt it very much!!! IMO its manners anyway and i will never change from doing it!

I want to make a question more interesting: 1 woman 1 straight guy 1 gay guy 1 man 1 straight woman 1 lesbian 2 rooms- 1 twin 1 single = who gets a single one? such an easy one- in problem one the woman stays with the straight guy pretending to be the gay guy to make her feel safe and problem 2 is a bit tricky but I would say straight girl stays with lesbain girl while straight bloke sits and watches while magicing the coffee beans. Alternatively bloke stays with Lesbian and tries for a conversation. could we not just put the 2 groups together and assume the bloke in the second problem is also gay (you never said he wasnt). Pair off the gay guys and that would leave me with 2 straight women and a lesbian, throw in some alcohol and a few toys and now we partying.

Sexual orientation shouldn't make a difference IMO, and indeed the first post didn't specify the sexual orientation of the people involved. I would still say in case 1 the two guys share, in case two the two women share. I'd never be offended by someone being chivalrous - as someone said, it's just good manners. Where it might start to grate a bit was if it was being done in a patronising way. For example, I work with a guy who is, to put it bluntly, sexist. At a supposedly joint presentation we did a few months ago to some external stakeholders he introduced me as his 'glamorous assistant' and proceeded to dominate the whole meeting. If he had held the door open for me on the way out with a 'ladies first', that would have got my goat.

Lucky I brought my tent repair kit.... you've repaired the tent and have been tucked up for about an hour when some particularly mean urban foxes come and rob you, they take the tent back to their burrow and urinate all over your rucksack, what now? I follow the footprints and trace their burrow whereupon I urinate in their doorway. Then I hand wash the rucksack in a nearby stream, using the Persil tablet I packed. With the 468-uses, special edition penknife I packed, I strip some branches, build a thatched den with raised A-frame bed and settle down to a good night's sleep, having laid boobytraps all around my camp. so all seems well and your just starting to doze off when a bright light is suddenly shone in your face, you look up to see a police constable standing over you who goes onto explain that your antics have been monitered from the local cctv office. you are arrested for criminal damage(to a tree) public indecency(exposing yourself to urinate all over the place) carrying a concealed weapon(the knife) possesion of a controlled substance(they dont believe your story about the white powder being the remains of a persil tablet). It's not looking good............... Title: Re: chivalry vs feminism Post by: roverthtaeh on June 20, 2007, 09:04:39 PM Did Alan Sugar organise this whole thing as a test? If so, I'll use my initiative and get a third room in another hotel nearby. If not, I'm not going on the trip anyway. they're all booked up, next move Mr De Bono? I packed a tent ...... it ripped as you unpacked it.....
