Today, I was told off for not holding the door open for a woman behind me at work. Yesterday I was informed that chivalry is offensive to women, as it implies that they are not equal to men. I can't win. FML

Isn't it just normal to hold the door open for anyone? I'm a female and I hold a door for male, female, older or younger because where I'm from its not an act of chivalry but courtesy.

I know so many people have said this already, but just hold the door for any person, not just females. A random act of kindness never hurts anyone.

lmao you can either like it or move on I dont care either way, your not going to effect my day or my thoughts of how women should be lower then men and here's the best part, every woman in this world knows that they aren't as equal as any male I don't care what he does she will never, EVER be big enough to carry his jock strap so get back to the kitchen bare foot, preggo, cooking, cleaning, and doing whatever else I tell ya to do.

I find it highly amusing how pathetic "luv2cheat" is. Based on spelling, grammar and punctuation alone, he is correct about not being equal - at least not equal to him. A vast majority (of men and women) are much more superior than he is.

First off I am NOT a feminist. Secondly not every women can cook and clean (this has got to be a shocker to you 73!) It is quite obvious that you are single and will more than likely stay single for the rest of your life if you don't change how you think. Like men, women just want a nice job where they will get a nice payroll and can retire with enough money to go somewhere.

134 - Even absolutes can have varying degrees. Just as a giraffe can be taller than a house, an office building can be much taller than a giraffe, while a skyscraper can be much more taller than both the office building and the giraffe. The vast majority are "much more superior" than he is. It's a matter of emphasis.

**** that. Holding the door open for someone behind you is called "not being a jackass".

I honestly just take the neutral route now and hold the door for both men and women, forget about equal rights, just be an over all gentlemen and be nice to everyone regardless gender. But don't get me wrong, if a lady tells me off for not opening the door for he, I would probably tell her off too. She have no right to demand such action from me. Just my opinion.

I am a girl but I do find it ridiculous that some want a guy who's chivalrous but also say that they are completely feministic and want to be treated exactly the same as men...make up your minds

It's very sad to read this post and the comments... This world is ******-up! Face it people we are just evolving to become as desensitized and ignorant as we began as animals... Now the problem with the world? ...the lack of respect for our earth, for our children - for the future we neglect for the morals, for the values, for the god that we select millions die everyday without a cause to Affect The problem with the revolution?...it's never gonna happen. Yes, the smallest things such as the Lack of Common Courtesy is an example of this world coming to an end... We're all just going to be(are) wild animals, for now we just happen to be the brightest of the bunch!

Nobody is nice enough to say thank you when you hold the door open for someone now a days. Some people are becoming really rude.

Try the new book "understanding the female mind". Oh wait, it hasn't been understood yet, so no book. Best of luck OP, it's going to be a rough ride!
