What “chivalry” Should Be: “I Want To Do This Good Thing For Someone Else Because Altruism Is Awesome.”

What “chivalry” should be: “I want to do this good thing for someone else because altruism is awesome.”

What “chivalry” should not be: “I’m gonna do this ‘nice thing’ for a woman because she is a woman, but if she doesn’t respond in a manner which I deem appropriate I’m gonna call her an ‘ungrateful b****’ because I’m a petulant child who doesn’t understand historical gender dynamics.”

types of women

ivy women - always the first to laugh and the first cry. can be cruel — a tongue sharp with thorns, mocking laughter, an envious gaze. can be unexpectedly kind - soft remarks of beauty and love, warm hugs, even warmer smiles. always trying to become a better person than she was the day before. love on her is as vibrant as the world is verdant after rain. blooming and fleeting.

marble women - a perfectly polished smile and ruthless ambition. seemingly coarse and untouchable — a geode’s facade. has turned her ribcage into a casket for her glass heart. never warm and sometimes merciless, but fiercely protective of the few she cares for. love in the form of a kiss to the corner of your lips poised but honest.

cloud women - soft hands that seem to be everywhere at once. on your shoulder, hip, thigh, chin, cheeks. she is gentle and sweet, but frustratingly naïve. convinced that the world will be as kind to her as she is to it. her habit of taking care of strays draws you to her - it feels as though she can take the loneliness out of the lost. a pure love that fades too fast, slipping between your fingers like it’s made of air.

lavender women - gentle eyes and fluttering lashes. carrying herself with such a natural grace it seems as though she is floating. has devoted herself to being something soft in a world that is not — a feathery touch with a strong embrace. she has known suffering and become kinder for it, has a desire to ensure no one will feel the same pains she has. she freely offers her love and her shoulder to those who need it.

types of people

shades of purple

lavender: oversized sweaters, stark contrasts, misunderstood jokes, loud laughter, pencil shading rubbing off on skin, overflowing emotions, appreciated nostalgia, star-gazing, late-night conversations

wisteria: adrenaline crashes, ocean mist, layering clothes, lighthearted games of truth or dare, messy hair, bubbly laughter from excess energy, the tired satisfaction of a full day

lilac: neon lights, bright cities, slightly smudged make-up, a fast beating heart, secret confessions, too-loud music, wide smiles between friends, freedom from deadlines, the ache of what could have been

mauve: comfortable silences, rainy days, organized shelves, discovering a new interest, hot tea, eye bags, getting lost in thought, absentminded singing, the epiphany that comes from understanding a concept

plum: smiling at a stranger, spontaneous conversations, winged eyeliner, total honesty, animated gestures, fluorescent lighting, stores at 2am, pinkie promises, holding hands, reminiscent stories, conversations about the future

amethyst: uncertain smiles, subtle exchanged glances, paint-stained hands, inside jokes, cups of coffee, multi-tasking, unspoken promises, a not-quite persistent yearning, shaky breaths, a constantly calm demeanor
