Yes, I'll agree that it is not chauvanistic to be chivalrous, but true
chivalry is gender-blind.  A gentleman holds the door or gives up his
seat not only for a pretty lady, but also for an old man, for a pregnant
woman, for a bag lady, for a frazzled mother trying to keep track of 3
kids, for the delivery boy with large packages, for another man of his
age, etc.  Same goes for a lady (make appropriate changes...). Chivalry
is not just a trait for men.

If you are polite and pleasant only to women (or men), then you aren't
being chivalrous, and you ARE being chauvanistic.
