[QUOTE="Resha Caner, post: 71982604, member: 269139"] I think that question is largely irrelevant. I do hold doors for guys, but most of the time it's for people I don't know. How does this lady know I don't hold doors for guys? Is she going to stop and ask me and decide whether or not to accept my offer of kindness based on my answer? Why not quiz me on a whole list of litmus tests: What is my position on abortion, on LBGT, on intervention overseas? When women refuse to go through a door held by a man, it is just as sexist a response as the presumed sexism of the man. It's been many, many years since it's happened to me, but in college I did have girls refuse to go through the door when I held it for them. However, I did recently have an interesting experience. I held a door for a woman, and she said "Thank you." It was a double door, so she held the next for me. I walked through and said, "Thank you." She answered, "Now we're even." Umm. That wasn't the point. It kinda ruined her gesture. [/QUOTE]
