Is Chivalry Dead?

This question had been posed so many times in today's society, has chivalry died? If so, who killed it? I have a outlook on both these questions.

Chivalry in its rawest definition: The qualities idealized by knighthood, such as bravery, courtesy, honor, and gallantry toward women.

These days, young men seemed to have lost site of the aspect of "courting." They want sexual
relations as soon as they can get and cannot even fathom why they must but effort into getting it. Opening doors, actually getting to know someone, paying for dates, etc. are not event expected anymore. If a girl gets all of that, kudos to them, but its not in the requirements. But why is that?

I do not believe that chivalry is dead, I just believe it is on the verge of extinction. Who is killing it off? In my honest opinion, females are. What most females have yet to understand is a guy will do all that you allow him to do. If you raise your standards and expectations, a man will have to rise up to meet them. If you accept what they offer, even if you know you are worth more, you are agreeing that that is what you deserve.

They say every girl wants their knight in shining armor, but that's not all the way true. Every girl just wants to be treated like the world. But it is up to them to demand the respect they utterly crave. If chivalry is ever to make the immense comeback it deserves, it is truly up to women to recognize the need for them bring it back.
