Why Is Chivalry Necessary?
Everyone says that chivalry is lost. I see lack of it everywhere. It makes me sick when I think about it. I often wonder if I truly understand what chivalry is and why it's important. Then I think about todays world: women no longer have respect for themselves or thier bodies. I recently watched a video in which a teenage girl said she was asked to send a boy a nude photo of herself. She acted like it was a normal thing to send a guy a picture of her for him to drool over. She said she wasn't comfortable with her body but would be willing to send a picture with minamal clothing. I felt sick. There was a time when having such a request may have hurt. She doesn't value her body enough to keep it private. That guy loves her body, not her. Even as I type this, I feel sick. Men have no respect for a womans body, so women don't respect them either.[God to the woman] "Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you." Genesis 4:16c. Men, let's start ruling with chivalry.

YES!!! I,as a woman, am in love with the idea of chivalry. The guy I marry HAS to be at least a little old fasioned!I do love the 1800s and the whole idea of courting only one person because that is the person God knows and has planned for me. Some women have respect for themselves, but not many, as far as I know. I really hope the world will change for the better in the comming years.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I love the idea of chivalry, and it tears my heart in two to see it disappearing. I'm really glad there are guys out there that still care about it. It's hard being a girl in the 21st century. There's all of these stereotypes of how girls are supposed to act and it's ground into our minds that 'Thin is beautiful' and if you're not stick thin you're ugly. That one hurts. Self esteem is way down on the list for girls, that's for sure. That's why so many girls have eating disorders and would not care enough to take care of themselves. We girls are also really gullible and we often think that guys love us for who we are when that isn't true. And when we find out it's not true, that just bring us lower. It's a never ending cycle. That's why we need to trust God when he says that we are beautiful in his eyes, both inside and out. Thanks for keeping chivalry alive, Jojo.
ReplyDeleteA hearty round of applause for one of the most sorely missed attributes of the 21st century!
