chivalry vs feminism

[ArthK]

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?

Welcome to the forum, enjoy.

Interesting first post. Not sure of an answer yet.

Hello and welcome to blonde ArthK

If I was in that situation, the lady gets her own room. Unless she herself volunteered an alternative!

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.

But what if it was room 407?

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

I like a girl with a bit of dog in her.

"..... inter gender understanding....".

Is that, like, humpy-pumpy?

So no'one feels awkward or left out just accept the one room and have three in the bed, it will do wonders for team bonding..

that depends, what does she look like, how drunk do i have to get?

[matt674]

Surely she'd be too busy waiting on the men to find time to sleep?

Let\'s say she\'s a gorgeous, slim brunette. But if you make a move on her, she\'ll kick your ass.
