Shallowater, Texas - A homework assignment on chivalry in a high-school English class on chivalry is raising eyebrows in Texas.

According to Insider.com, the students were asked to follow the rules of chivalry as in the Middle Ages.

Among other things, the female students were ordered to greet the men with bowed heads and a curtsy. Furthermore, the students were asked to cook or bake something for the "gentlemen."

In addition, the women were required not to "complain or whine."

Likewise, they were to "walk behind the men" and "obey" them.

The boys had things a lot easier. According to the school assignment, they were simply told to "dress appropriately" in suits and ties – not in, say, knight's armor.

Women should be addressed as "milady." Otherwise, the gentlemen should behave nobly and refrain from using vulgar language.

The exact assignment was shared on Twitter by Brandi D. Addison Davies, a journalist.

One passage in the homework assignment in particular raised eyebrows: "Fathers and other grown men may insist on following the rules into the evening," implying that the female students had to adhere to the guidelines even outside the classroom.

No wonder the homework was heavily criticized after being published on Facebook.
