Man Women Chivalrous Car Eslpod Acts Sign Open

Men have to "walk a fine line" (be very careful in achieving a balance) when performing "chivalrous acts" (things one does to be chivalrous), because some modern women "interpret" (perceive and understand in a particular way) their actions as a sign of "sexism" (being biased against women (or men)). For example, if a man holds open a door, many women will be "flattered" (honored and pleased), but some women will be "insulted" (upset and angry) because they interpret it as a sign of a man showing that he is stronger than she is.

"Nevertheless" (even though that is true), men can perform many chivalrous acts to show their respect and admiration for women. In addition to holding open doors and car doors, they can hold an umbrella over a woman's head when it is raining. If it is cold outside, they can offer the woman their jacket. If it is too cold or rainy, the man can go to get the car and bring it closer to the door so that the woman does not have to walk in the "inclement weather" (bad weather).

Traditionally, to be chivalrous, when walking down the street, the man walks on the side of the sidewalk that is closest to the street, so that if a car drives through a "puddle" (water that has collected in a low part on a street), it will not splash onto her.

Similarly, in a restaurant, a man stands up as a woman arrives at the table and when she stands up to leave the table. Men can also pull out the woman's chair to make it easier for her to sit down.
