CHIVALRY WAS A CODE THAT MADE BEHAVIORAL DEMANDS ON WOMEN AS WELL AS MEN.

Notice a woman physically attacked a man, and when he grabbed her mask, another man (maybe with the woman) expressed outrage that he “hit a woman.”

Weaponized chivalry.

Part of the reason women are taking the lead at these protests is that they consider themselves untouchable. https://t.co/pbttvTWBnb
