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.

You hold the door open for anyone. A man, woman, seven year old or camel. It's part of being a good citizen.

You can refer to it - as long as no one named Rosengurtle Baumgartener is within earshot.

People are just too sensitive when it comes to this stuff, just choose a position society!

YDI because you should have held open the door, not because she is a woman, but because she was coming through the door right after you. That's not sexist. It's just polite.
