In this day and age, it appears that women have been more critical than ever before in assessing and evaluating the characteristics and traits of men today that fit the mold of a true gentleman. The quote "chivalry is dead" has been all too familiar in the ears of many men today, and the exceedingly high expectations of conducting themselves in a courteous manner at all times end up resulting in the disappointment of women expecting an act of chivalry and politeness.
In Philippine culture, it is strongly implied that the elderly, pregnant women and the disabled should be offered assistance and politeness at all times. And in her case, she was neither. Many have stated that if she could stand up without a problem, then she should.
Facebook user Axel Luna commented on her post and stated that what the man did is an act of equality. He said that men will give their seats to those who need it, but for people who are able to stand up on their own, they would not bother doing so. He also said that the reason why most men underestimate women is because some of them cannot carry themselves in a self-reliable manner.
The post was uploaded on a Facebook page called Senyora Santibañez, and from there the post skyrocketed and took the attention of netizens. Here is what some of them have to say.
