One told me outright that if she wanted equality, she'd have to accept that things like chivalrous behavior would die too.
I guess a part of the problem is that women got the right to vote, work independently, not to be married against their will, and other such basic rights already a hundred years ago (in the West), so now they are anymore fighting for what could be called much smaller things. Thus they look a lot more petty, no matter how good intentions some of them might still have, like the same pay for the same job.

I have never supported complete, dull equality, because it would indeed destroy some good cultural differences, like some of those chivalrous manners. As long as there are no real obstacles for either sex, little differences should remain for a more interesting world.
