I'm starting to think that before this time of mass communication that Chivalry probably never existed....
I think when people read more or watched TV as a primary source of information instead of the internet where anyone's opinion matters, that people weren't trained to accept those ideas and morals. They didn't have a source from which to draw upon. Now with blogs and social media, we see that men and women probably always acted this way towards each other but now we just have more validation for it. Its probably easy for us to say its dead because we are under the impression that back then things were much more different...when the truth might be that back then, there were less sources of public information and influence, thus having a more direct impact.
If you have books and TV shows that impact entire generations and teach them how to speak and interact, thats much different than the internet showing people out of their element and being naturally rejective of some of these ideals...
Also, the feminist movement helped aid this so...
