I think chivalry is fine as an alpha male trait, and absurd as a beta one. I think the story is false and one-sided. There is no way girls used to fall in love with beta men who put them on pedestals. The historical narrative we've been sold doesn't align with human psychology or observable behavior.

Maybe if they had lived in a tower and believed in fairy tales and had never seen a cock before marriage. But then reality would strike, and they would be fucking whatever alpha they could and turn their marriage into a cuckhold, or would grow up resentful and trapped. So I don't think this ever worked. Women have always been attracted to strength, confidence, and authenticity—not submission and deference.

When it comes down to chivalry, niceness, and sensibility, these traits can increment the value of a man who is already attractive, but also deduct value from the man if he isn't attractive enough. Unsolicited love plus nice plus beta plus chivalry equals creep. The formula is straightforward: nice qualities amplify existing attraction but cannot substitute for it.

The more I look at feminism, the more I see it as women's desire to get rid of their beta male captors. They want the alpha, and no beta, no rules, no society is going to hold them down anymore. What was framed as liberation from oppression is actually liberation from mediocrity—women rejecting the constraint of settling for weak men. The agenda has always been about freedom to choose strength over servitude.
