Actually, I was going to make the same point. I even wrote the post. But before I submitted it I thought I should be sure that chivalry only had to do with right behavior toward women. So I looked it up. And the definition in fact is was sex neutral, but simply referred to the qualities expected of a knight -- courage, generosity, and courtesy. So while it may by some people be used in a gender specific context, that doesn't appear to be the correct use of the term.
