- I know what you're thinking.
Just hear me out.
(horse neighing)
(chimes twinkling)
What up everyone?
It's your girl Superwoman.
And calm down.
Don't get me wrong.
I'm all about being polite.
But sometimes I feel like chivalry
is less about being polite and kind
and more about maintaining gender norms
that make no effing sense.
And honestly, if chivalry died,
I feel like guys and girls would be happier.
Chivalry should die.
Here's why.
Reason one.
It's hard to spell.
Okay, here is what we're shooting today.
Let me know if you have any questions.
- Um, what's chiva-larry?
- Yeah, chiva-larry, you don't know chiva-larry?
Yeah, it's a story about a Hindu God and a white God.
(blows raspberry) Reason two.
Sometimes, yeah, it's nice to have a guy hold a door for me.
But other times, I am also fine holding a door.
You know why?
'Cause it's a goddamn door and it doesn't matter.
Oh, wait, unless.
Oh no.
Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no.
Ah!
If you don't know where that's from
and you just think I'm insane,
shame on you.
- Whoa, no, no, let me hold that for you.
- It's fine, I got it.
- No, really, I can get it.
After you.
- It's no big deal, go ahead.
- I insist.
- I also insist.
- Nah, I'ma get this one.
- We're not even going that way.
- After you.
- I've been in this situation countless times
where I'm holding the door
and the guy literally refuses to go through it.
And I'm just like, brah.
You're not being a gentleman.
You're being annoying.
We done missed the 10:00 o'clock show, okay?
Stop wasting my time.
Reason three.
Car doors are the same deal, okay.
Like yo, if you're in front of me and you're ahead,
open the door for me.
You wanna be cute.
Do it okay?
But if you're making me wait
to open the door for me,
I promise you I can manage.
I also own a car.
I open its door everyday.
I will be fine.
- No, no, wait, let me get that for you.
- It's fine, I can--
- No, I'm on my way.
Oh, you know what?
Forgot my wallet, hold on.
Wait right there!
Hey girl, I got you.
Don't even touch that door.
I got you.
- My hero.
Like, I could've Ubered it in this time, fam.
Reason four.
Now, the obvious example of chivalry
that people talk about all the time
is paying for the bill at a restaurant.
And know when I say this,
some dude is gonna be watching this like,
shut the eff up feminist.
That doesn't happen.
First of all, feminist is not a bad word.
It is a compliment.
So thank you.
Second of all, it does happen.
(sighs) Yeah, hey, we're out to dinner right now.
No, he's in the washroom.
Yeah he's not doin' so great.
Lost his job, lost his car, lost his house.
I know, I know, I know.
I'm fortunate enough to take care of the both of us, I know.
Yeah, I'll probably buy him a card today or something.
Okay, listen, he's back.
Okay, gotta go.
Okay, bye.
Hey.
- Sorry about that.
- Check sir.
- In fact, today, literally today when I'm recording this,
I was going to a meeting
and I was really really far
from the little valet attendant guy.
So I was turning into the parking lot,
my windows were up, and he just sees my car,
which is a Tesla, humble brag,
and he's like "Sir, this way."
And I'm like, you couldn't even see
who was in the car but oh,
it's a Tesla so it must be a sir.
I rolled down the window and I was like
(automatic window whirring)
I'm sorry, was you talking to these boobs?
Like brah, I secure the bag okay.
I'm fine paying for some damn pita chips and artichoke dip.
It's fine.
Reason five.
Biologically, on average,
men are physically stronger than women.
That's fine.
I'm not mad.
That's just what it is.
So if I'm tryna lift something heavy and I can't,
I might call a dude.
No shame in that.
But that doesn't mean I have zero physical ability.
- Hey yo, let me help you with those.
- No, it's okay, I got it.
- Oh, here let me at least grab a few.
- No because I have this balance system.
If you grab one,
(books thudding)
they're all gonna fall.
- I got you, no worries.
- Sure, okay thanks.
I was just going to my car.
It's right over here.
- Wait, let me get that for you.
- Really?
Oh hey sweetheart,
let me hold that single paperclip for you.
Don't hurt yourself.
Shut the eff up.
You ever seen a Charlize Theron movie?
She beats up guys left, right, and center.
But I get it.
Back in the day, women literally wore corsets
and couldn't do these things.
Okay, but look at me.
Full range of motion.
I am able to do all of the things.
Ow.
Again, Charlize is a better example.
Reason six.
You know what I do love about chivalry though?
I love that guys give me their jackets
because I'm always cold.
Having said that, I don't like it
if the guy is clearly suffering.
- You must be cold.
Here, take my jacket.
- Oh no, I'm actually okay, thanks.
- Don't be silly ma, I got you.
Take my jacket.
Here.
- Okay sure, thanks.
Are you not cold now?
You're only wearing a T-shirt.
- No, I'm actually hot.
- Oh, you're hot?
- Yep.
- Okay, if you say so.
I think it's starting to snow.
- Cool.
(glass clattering)
- I cannot tell you how many times
this has happened in my life
where I'm like actually chilling,
someone gives me their jacket
and they're like, no, no man, I'm not cold.
I'm like bro, you're wearing a G-string and it's snowing.
You cold, okay?
Your nips are about to cut me.
And that's why chivalry should die,
for all of those reasons okay?
Because I am a woman and I can handle my own.
Most of the time.
Hey babe, can you hold my keys and my camera?
I don't have any pockets.
- Yeah, not this time babe.
Sorry, just leave them at home.
- Wow.
Chivalry is dead.
What?
Okay, listen.
All I want is chivalry to die.
And then resurrect when convenient for me.
(drum banging)
