I ask because that is partly what is being asserted by at least one other poster. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hold the door for everybody, male and female. Why single out one group for different treatment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not a deflection, it is the whole mindset that I have been talking about. I know men today that will gladly hold a door for a woman and would not do it for a man if the building was on fire (that is a bit of hyperbole, but you get my meaning). Why not if you happen to be the first one to the door and there are 4 or 5 people close behind you, hold it for all of them? Is that not a better way to do things than to single out one gender over the other? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then at times I have become the "door holder" and I stand there while I watch a line of people go pass me cause I held the door open for one person. Oh well I say.
