Chivalry
It recently came to my attention that a post that I wrote some time ago about how men are killing chivalry gained a little bit of attention. Seems that the debate around chivalry is still alive and well.
it’s well known at this point that men are in a state of uncertainty when it comes to knowing what their role is in modern society. With all of the success of modern feminism, women have made great strides in the areas of work and home equality. Those achievements, however grand and beneficial, have created a great big question mark in the minds of modern men. If women can do everything a man can do, then what should men be doing?
The discussion has not yet played itself out. While the perception of men in the media is certainly changing, it has taken on a negative spin that many individuals and organizations have begun to protest. Every day men are questioning everything from what kind of work they should be doing, to should they be stay at home dads, to how they should dress, to should they open the door for ladies at the mall?
The discussion isn’t going away. I propose bringing it out in the open. I propose the first Chivalry Blog Carnival.
The Chivalry Blog Carnival will last just 8 weeks, beginning October 21st and running through Dec 16th. The deadline to submit articles for consideration is the Saturday before the carnival you wish to submit for.
What kind of articles should be submitted for the Chivalry Blog Carnival?
Some ideas include, but are not limited to: the history of chivalry, history of knighthoods, how chivalry is played out in modern times, in-depth analysis of current knightly orders, a run down of the Society for Creative Anachronism, is chivalry dead, how men can incorporate the ideals of knighthood into their daily lives.
Who should submit to the Chivalry Blog Carnival?
Anyone who has a website and writes anything about chivalry. We’re looking for a diverse view, from experts on medieval history, to modern day ladies in waiting. We want to hear from you: is chivalry really dead?
I’ll have a badge for the carnival up soon. Let me know if you have any additional questions.
How do I submit for the Chivalry Blog Carnival?
You can email posts to coryhuff at gmail.com. NOTE: You must make the subject line Chivalry Blog Carnival or I probably won’t see it. You can also use this handy submission form.
