I've just finished my master's and will begin my doctoral program in the fall. And wouldn't say that I'm mean to men who try to be chivalrous toward me. I love it and encourage it. Perhaps these women that you've met, Professor, are just plain out mean and don't know how to receive a compliment or other gentlemen-like deed.
Pardon my less-sophisticated sisters for their ignorance and wait on the quality women that perhaps may come your way.

I think certain kinds of women like chivalry. Some women take it as a threat as the man trying to control them. Some don't even know how to take it! Most of the time it is just a man trying to be nice.
