If it bothers me that five women were standing on the train & no man offered a seat, is that sexist, chivalry, simple manners, or what? assume all are healthy.
Smiles, my husband is actually rather chivalrous, I think it just depends. He and his family are from the midwest so all of the men in his family are chilvarous. If they are seated and a lady walks up they rise because that is what a gentleman does. They also open doors and would no doubt offer their seat. Course, they are also a bit chauvanistic to varying degrees so you gotta take the good with the bad.
