 Chivalry is the traditional code of conduct associated with the medieval institution of knighthood, but nowadays, it is commonly associated with men holding doors open for women, paying for their expenses on dates and protecting them, generally, from harm.

Chivalry's supporters argue that it carries no disrespect or condescension to anyone; rather, it represents time-honored values such as service, compassion and courtesy.
