Revision?

The first bullet, couldn't that go for any woman entering a room?
When a girl walks down the stairs in her prom dress, he date should stand up. There's no table involved in this case. o.O Nate^{because people listen to what I say?} 22:30, 20 August 2008 (EDT)

Nate, I fixed the first thing you mentioned. As far as the latter, my prom date lived in her parents trailer (single story), and I was probably already standing around nervously ;) But you're right, I think it actually applies more broadly, to, say, a woman entering (or leaving?) a room.

Point 4 ("supporting and treating women, and adopting a work ethic to make that possible") seems to require clarification, but I am uncertain as to the intent. Should there be something further after "treating women?" Or was it intended to refer to "treating women" to dinner and so forth?--Benp 21:00, 2 September 2008 (EDT)

I'm confused... shouldn't this article be focused on the code of chivalry from the middle ages...? What in the world does homeschooling have to do with chivalry. The link between the two is unsourced and tenuous at best. EternalCritic 10:43, 6 November 2008 (EST)

I've put the {{fact}} tag next to that statement, as it isn't backed up with any citation, and because chivalry as a "reason for homeschooling" isn't mentioned at all in the homeschooling article. I agree there should be more content about medieval chivalry, especially as it is a well defined concept attested to by historical sources, whereas "moderan chivalry" is a vaguer idea & much more open to personal interpretation. If you have any good information or quotes about medieval chivalry, it would be nice to see that section expand.  :-) Sideways 10:57, 6 November 2008 (EST)

Added more info to the end of the page. The homeschooling bit seemed just strangely out of place so I removed it.
