The gesture
of chivalry, as we know, dates back from the Medieval Ages where men practiced
becoming gentlemen. They knelt and gave flowers, opened the doors of buildings
and carriages, pulled the chairs back, and sang serenades for the ladies who
have caught their sight and their heart. This has been observed for centuries,
by knights and paupers alike. Even in the today’s` setting, it never went out
of fashion. As a matter of fact, this still gives the giggles and the feeling
of importance in the minds of the modern ladies.
Moving farther back in history
during the Biblical times, and even in the present times in some countries, the
female gender of the human race was never given that importance. Women are more
of a commodity rather than a human in the society’s perspective. They were seen
as the bargaining chip, a pleasure glove, and worst, treated in a sub-humane
manner.
