Courtesy: having politeness in one’s attitude and behavior towards others.
Chivalry: courteous behavior, especially that of a man towards a woman.
Of the bloggers I follow, a few have written about the concept of chivalry this past week, and I’ve decided to add my thoughts to the mix. If we look at the two definitions above, there is a stark contrast that is immediately apparent; Courtesy is for everyone, but chivalry is a term used solely for men in regards to their actions towards women.
