Chivalry

"Chivalry is not dead," a slogan heard in the forties or fifties, perhaps in response to my Grandfather's gifts of plants to women on the bus we were riding together. So I grew up when chilvalry was still OK, sort of, and that is within my character too. I imagined Betty Friedan's possible response to a gift of a plant from an aging man on a bus the other evening, what might she have said (?). Grandfather treated women with a decided difference in respect, and some people today would be critical of that.
