Mr. Chivalry: One Piece's Sanji and the Downside of Chivalry
Never hit a woman. Treat women with respect. Protect women in need. These are all common things taught to men from a young age and at first glance they seem to be a straightforward and respectful guide to the interaction between genders. However, ask any girl who was refused a place on a school wrestling team or football team because the boys refused to engage her as the sport demanded and you’ll see where the flaws lie. Of course a boy shouldn’t hit a girl for no reason, but if he refuses to tackle her on a football team then he is extinguishing her opportunity to be treated as an equal and live out her dreams.
