Are we talking chivalry or courtesy?
I think "chivalry" as such, to my mind, is more the domain of the older gentleman these days. I think today it should be more a matter of courtesy. Not just to us ladies, but to all fellow human beings. I certainly don't expect, even as a female of "a certain age" to have certain niceties bestowed on me just because I am such, but for it to be a matter of decent manners to one another. In any case other things more important than gender should be a priority, such as age or infirmity.
