i was raised with chivalry and manners such as your self, even for being born in 1985. my parents raised me that way, and scouts no doubt helped to secure those virtues in place. i always give my seat to elders, hold doors and even say please and thank you, as well as excuse me. but you are right in the fact that you just dont see it much any more with the newer generations. a friend of mine says that "chivalry towards women, died when they became equals to men (ie right to vote, etc)" not sure i concur with this thought but its does in some ways make sense.
