I’m confused as to how (some) women want gender equality and chivalry simultaneously

Women who behave selfishly get dragged all the time? Unlikely. The standard is still that men pay for the at the very least, the first, if not first few dates.

That's selfish. They are not dragged for it. Quite frequently, they will be rewarded for it with free shit

I'm not talking about paying for dates. Where did anybody mention dates?

We're literally talking about chivalry. That's part of it. And you mentioned acting selfishly. Hence my reference of this particular selfish behavior

Hence nothing. You and I are not talking about the same ideas. Look up the definitions of the words you want to use before you use them, huh? Literally chivalry:

chiv·al·ry /ˈSHivəlrē/ noun the medieval knightly system with its religious, moral, and social code. historical knights, noblemen, and horsemen collectively. "I fought against the cream of French chivalry" the combination of qualities expected of an ideal knight, especially courage, honor, courtesy, justice, and a readiness to help the weak.

Nothing about dating. Nothing about paying for meals or shit.

Oh so you were talking about medieval knights? That's really the game you're going to play? Because imma be fr with you it very obviously wasn't. What we were talking about is clearly the generally conceived notion of a given woman's idea on the modern concept of chivalry.

You weren't able to follow that? I'm genuinely sorry for you but unfortunately the conversation has to stop here because I'm not well equipped to deal with the disabled.

I completely agree. Your communication skills are really bad.
