It doesn’t matter how the person reacts to having a door opened for them. That’s on them.
You do it because it is the right thing to do.

More evidence of Leftist war on reality. There are both biological & cultural issues involved in this, but the real point that cannot be overlooked, is that Feminism is a war on reality--with a particularly frantic emphasis on the normal, feminine woman, who has the attractive traits that the militant feminist lacks.

For a detailed analysis of those underlying issues: Feminist Delusion.

Most women appreciate the gesture, smile, and say thank you because it is civilized behavior, not sexism or chauvinism. So I will continue to do it, especially since it's a good way to catch a glimpse of that ass.



Apologies ahead of time for the above.

All men are Sexists. It’s in the DNA, and all Sexists must be punished.

Young women should open doors for old men, maybe.

What I like to do is hold the door for a woman and then make a sexist comment as she goes through.

I play it safe and only hold open revolving doors.

remember when the proposal was made to draft women? how the feminists screamed!
the moment i hear “we’re sinking - men and children to the lifeboats first” i’ll believe the genders are equal

Having spent several months with both arms in casts, I’ve encountered a whole lot of sexist men and women who opened doors for me, carried packages, and otherwise acted in a manner that I mistakenly interpreted as kind and helpful. I wish I had known then that all those people were secretly prejudiced against men and only hiding their malice behind a warm smile and a friendly gesture.

I always open doors for men and women. It’s the polite thing to do. When I was delivering parcels, I really appreciated those who held the door for me and never failed to say, ‘thank you, I appreciate it.” Kindness begets kindness. Those who view these acts as sexist lead miserable lives.

I opened a door for a woman once back in the 80s. She was a small overweight woman and the door was pretty tightly sprung. She called me a male chauvinist pig so I said I’m sorry I’ll do better as I released the door which knocked her down. She cussed me and told me to help her up. I declined and walked away.

I must be a REAALY terrible person. I have opened doors for elderly black women on occasion. I should have asked if she was a lesbian so I can get all my hates out at once.

I don’t hold the door open because you’re a woman. I hold it open because I’m a gentleman.
