What is Chivalry?

I'll have to work on an answer to that question but the quickest answer would be a quote from an old song.

    Lean on me, when you're not strong
    And I'll be your friend
    I'll help you carry on
        - Bill Withers

In my own inadequate words I would say Chivalry is doing what is Right simply because it is the Right Thing to do.  Defining what the 'Right Thing' is will take a bit longer.
