- Is that sexist - or chivalrous?
What's the difference?

Allow me to chime in as a former server myself. It's neither chivalrous nor sexist, it's simply proper etiquette. The same goes for serving the oldest person at the table first, it's not age discrimination... It's just proper etiquette.

Now you're just talking semantics. Of course it's chivalrous. I think age is a different category. Elderness is something you earn. A vagina is not.

Blurted out laughter at my table for 1 in the Mellow Mushroom.
If it's semantics then my votes for chivalry.

Of course I'm just playing devils advocate with all of this. It's an interesting topic for me and I'm not dumb enough to get into it with most people. For the record, I totally agree with you - my vote's for chivalry. That's a real man's answer. There's really no need to intellectualize it. Why? Because. That's why.
