I know a lady who says she feels demeaned if a man walks on the outside or opens a door for her or stands aside to let her pass. I just think it's good manners. Being a gentleman has nothing to do with equality in my opinion.

I tend to be courteous but not specifically to females.

I have heard of a woman who abused a man for doing just that being a gentleman.This is how political correctness has gone insane if that`s what it is.

I am old school in that regard and I would do all of those things and more for a woman ,my father always wore a hat and when he greeted a woman he would always dip his lid as a respect to her.

If a woman challenged me for doing the gentlemanly thing for her ,she would get a mouthful from me as to what sort of person she is.

Once while dirty from work and in my old overalls i held the door to the bank while a young woman carrying various rolls of plans and files entered the bank. She gave me a filthy look. On the way out i stood as she dropped some of the rolls of plans and files and waited till she had picked them up and opened the door for herself.

I believe women have lost more than they have received out of this feminist/equality thing.

INCOMING!!

I held a door open on Tuesday at work for a man becasue he was carrying a tray of coffee through for his colleagues. He was very grateful. Yesterday a man at work held a door for me becasue I was carrying a coffee and a pile of books. I said that was good timing and thanked him.

Don't make judgements that all women are a certain way now or that they hate courtesy from men and other women. Just as I don't judge all men to be sexist just because a few are. Billions of people is too large a sample to judge without knowledge.

I'm a feminist and believe in equal rights but I don't hate men, on the contrary I loved one for twenty-seven years.

Anyone who feels demeaned because someone treats them differently because of their gender, in a polite, mannerly fashion, has literally zero idea of what it means to be demeaned.

A random lady got upset with me once about holding the door for her, and I told her the truth. I said, “Lady, I hold the door for everyone regardless of gender. It’s the polite thing to do for others. If you don’t know this, I’m sorry for you.”

Western feminists literally have no idea about genuine oppression.

Women in Iran, Saudi Arabia, Venezuela and a number of African countries know about real oppression.

Whining about men opening doors for you is a first world problem, and nothing in the scheme of things.

But, amazingly, you *do* get feminists moaning about this.

Yes we do, we can read history books

Yes we do, we can read history books - kinda proves my point, don't you think?

Western feminists don't know what real oppression is - they've not suffered it.
