Basically, yes Chivalry is if not dead, is very, very, poorly, there are a few of we males, (of various ages), that will open a door and there are also a few ladies, (of various ages), that appreciate and acknowledge the courtesy offered them.
Unfortunately we also have a breed of women that not only don't say thank you, but will go out of their way to humiliate anyone with manners and often in terms that would shame a docker!
I will not however stop opening a door or helping anyone of what used to be called the 'fairer sex', because the ones that do smile and say, "thank you", make it worth while for the world to have to put up with the coarse ignorant ones.
