Let's Give Chivalry Back To Men
Growing up watching Disney movies, chivalrous men were everywhere. Gallant princes did everything from saving princesses to dancing beautifully at palace balls. It seemed obvious that chivalry was an attractive quality and one to look for in a partner. As I aged, I began to notice a change in Disney films – chivalry was considered a dead art that encouraged inequality between the sexes.

Think about it. In Enchanted, the princess has to save her love from the dragon – she didn’t need a man to rescue her because she was strong enough to fight for the both of them! Or in Frozen, Anna and Elsa didn’t need men’s help because they had each other. It’s a new lesson we are teaching young men and women – chivalry is no longer necessary.
