    do you still believe in it?

    i believe a man should hold doors for women

    act as a protector

    act as a provider. if a woman wants to work then fine but not if she doesnt want to

    just how i am

    I hold the door for anyone and expect the same from anyone

    As far as the working thing goes, I would never expect to be kept. I’ve worked since I was 16 and have never relied on anyone.

    Imagine not holding a door for someone...if you don't seek psychiatric help.

    Holding a door open for anyone is simply good manners and acceptable behaviour in any society - it has nothing to do with chivalry

    As for the rest of it you're showing signs of being worryingly out of touch with societal norms and displaying worryingly controlling behaviours.

    Protecting myself is my responsibility
    I provide for myself
    I make my own choices

    Nobody else has responsibility or control in providing any of these things for me and I would actively discourage anyone I knew from being involved with a person who believed that they did.

    You need to watch Game of Thrones to understand it.
