I recently showed a house that is fenced and gated. The gate has no motor, so to access the driveway, I have to manually push the gate open: it is heavy, so this takes some effort! Anyhow, the buyer and his realtor, both men, were early and when I got there they simply sat in their car and watched me struggle rather than offering to help. Is chivalry dead?!
If you know me, then you know that I am no shrinking violet. I am a distance runner, I work hard on my career, I take pride in being independent and strong, and I believe in girl power! I am raising my daughter to be her own woman, but I am also raising my son to be a gentleman. He opens doors, says “ma’am,” and would never sit in his car and watch someone struggle if it was in his power to help them.
I know that this post has just devolved into a rant, but it really irritated me to see those men twiddling their thumbs as I put all of my might into opening that gate! Heck, it would have bugged me had it been two women who did not offer to help – women can be chivalrous too! The next time you see someone who you can help, even just a little bit, then why not do it? Let’s all bring chivalry back to life!
