Double standards on sexism need to be addressed

FOLLOWING a recent radio debate, I find myself asking, is chivalry dying because it is sexist?

In an age where women are claiming men dominate politics, business, and so on, I wonder if chivalry is unfair on men.

Personally, I have no trouble holding the door for a woman, or giving up my seat on the bus, but is it just a blatant double standard? If there was a debate on radio, on whether or not women should open doors for men, and give up their seat on the bus for them, would we not have every woman in the country causing uproar? The tag of being sexist is branded on men in Ireland far too easily, and it is never used when describing a woman’s behaviour. Sexism is the discrimination of an individual based on gender, not just the discrimination of a woman.
