Chivalry is dead

In a lot of ways I'm pretty conservative and old fashioned:

- I like the Norwegian Monarchy.

- I want only Norwegian flags in our national day parade.
(a controversial topic in Norway, those agreeing with me are people I don't like agreeing with)

- I use the phrase "it's not my cup of tea". (My ex hated me for it)

- I like the concept of chivalry.

Where is all this leading? Nowhere really, I just wanted to share this quote of the day with you:

"Chivalry is dead. And women killed it".

Here are two excellent summaries of why things are the way they are in the middle east :-)

Who is more funny? And who takes it too far? You tell me...
