He thinks he is being helpful but he is actually being patronizing.
The conflict arises because his help is not beneficial to her.
It gets complex because sometimes the patronizing/chauvinist attitude would not cause conflict if the end result was deemed beneficial by the recepient.
The good type of chivalrous dude (if there is such a thing) is probably one who is equally as gracious and generous to both genders.
