Why can't chivalry exist any more? How can society go back to when men respected women? Like in the 1800's and back
i just watched Les Miserables and it occured most men in that Era were so caring. Like they actually respected women. Do you ever wish we could go back to that time? And actually see how it happened? It would be phenomenal. Todays society sucks, I just cant see how were advancing this quickly. Is it ever possible for us to go back in time?

I don't think you should get your history lessons from a movie...women in the 1800's were treated horribly.

before modern police intervention the acceptable death for a wife was domestic murder, if you lived under the roof of a man's house he could beat you silly cause he wanted to... alcoholism is fun eh?

You're deluded if you think women were respected back then. A man could beat, rape, and do most anything else to his wife, or children for that matter.

Like, what kind of chivalry? I understand respect, but I don't think it's respectful to anyone to do everything for someone just because they're female. I also don't think it's respectful for a guy to 'discipline' a woman like they did back then.

You really have no concept of history if you want think that women were respected back then. They were commodities, nothing more. The kind of chivalry you see in books and movies wasn't even practiced between man and wife. It was a secret affair and only occurring in the nobility.

I don't think that is true. Women are still fighting for their rights today but, in most, not all, modern day societies it is better today than the 1800s.

Because feminists want to make women independent of men. They want to be treated exactly like men. And they're getting their wish.

women got it easy these days what you on about? they got all their rights & all the rest of it... the days where men can make sexist jokes, beat women up, abuse women, humilliate women etc are long gone..... a lot of young women in todays society dont have any respect for men or themselves they are arrogant viscious violent aggressive two faced selfish brats who care about themselves..... men who are gentlemen towards them usually get used /dis respected & laughed at.... women have more power than they let on....

Read history and not take opinion just from a musical movie. Far more revealing to garbage that happened off in houses miles from town

That's the danger in watching something fictional, written for entertainment, and thinking that that's how things were. It doesn't tell everything. Women couldn't vote, couldn't own property, and all decisions were made for them by their fathers, brothers or husbands. Men didn't "respect" women, they viewed them as property or chattel.

Men do respect women today by trying to treat them equally.

I think, perhaps, that chivalry and especially respect for women went out the window once the word "swag" was invented...thank you, Soulja Boy, you miserable dickheaded fool.

When women start respecting themselves a little more & stop competing w/ guys !? We wear skin tight crap w/ our boonies sticking out & our ***** hanging out! What do you expect from guys anyway? We can compete w/ them in others ways! Physically, we're not as strong as men! When we are Ladies is when they will treat us as such!!!!
