Who said chivalry is dead?

With a world continually spiralling downwards, with war, suffering and injustice around every corner, it's not difficult to hear and make the assumption that "chivalry is dead".
But last night I have the proof to contradict it and to give a little hope to all those out there that want to see more chivalry...
In every club you get pervs-the leering men that think that women are just a piece of meat or 'another one to add to the list' and some women willingly encourage them. But when out with your brother and sisters in Christ it's nice to know that the guys, act as brothers in Christ. I have to say that these guys were all gentlemanly and chivalry. Taking care of each girl and making sure they were cautious and careful, keeping an eye out for those guys that don't even know what chivalry is anymore. Whether it meant swapping places, standing behind them (girls) or just generally being protective, last night showed that there are guys out there that love their sisters in Christ (as sisters) and do the right thing and protect them.
Newday 2007 a general word was given for the boys-
"Brothers don't be passive, protect your sisters in Christ"
I never really saw much fruit amongst the younger guys with concerns to this word, but the older ones seem to have it down. Whilst not always perfect (no-one is) they acted in a way that I know not only I noticed, it is that word down to a tee. I know it may not seem like much to them and perhaps it's just a normal part of their character, but in my own way, I think they deserve a mention, a big thanks and a pat on the back for protecting their sisters.
For the guys last night, the guys to follow their example and all those that want to learn how to be more chivalrous, this blog was for you.
