Both. Holding a door for people, whether it's a dude or a woman, especially if that person has his hands full, is just common courtesy. Just like you get up and offer your seat to an elderly. You just do it, and don't ****** about it if people don't praise you.

I'm starting to think this is a western thing, since (although it's been many years now) when I used public transportation in Germany or Denmark, I generally saw the same thing. Young people with their headphones stuck in, their bags next to them, and not getting up to offer their seat. It's kinda mindboggling to me.

And if anyone think it's sexist to hold a door open or pull up a chair for a lady or something, then that person needs to get a ****** reality grip. Christ, I'm honestly amazed at some people, especially on BSN. A place infested with SJW, goony bearded white knights, fedora types and the fat angry neckbearded atheist who think they know the answers.

Nah. People are free to engage in whatever act you deem to be a social faux pas that isn't bringing harm to anybody. No one's anymore obligated to hold the door open for me than I go out of my way to do so on a whim. Even when we cross into the 'especially' territory of man or woman with their hands full it's the same. But nothing's wrong with common courtesy so it's cool if it happens.

As for that other stuff about sexism and women, again, no one's exactly obligated to engage in that preferential treatment of women.

Always annoyed me when Chivelry is used out of contexet. itd medievel battle eticit. i once shut the door on a womens face. and she sais"Chivelry is dead." so i challenged her to physical combat.

Turns out im the better Jouster.

Chivelry may be alive but that woman is dead.

And you happened to have a steed AND a polearm on hand?

Yes a thousand times yes.

It's not offensive it's just one more way for insecure, antisocial xenophobes to ridicule and hate on others.

Concise and simply put, that is the best answer in this whole thread.

I usually hold the door for most people if I've just entered a place and they're entering behind me. I don't want people to get the door slammed in their face after I've gone in, that's just rude. Haven't gotten any looks or anything. Maybe I'm lucky. Or is this practice more prevalent in America?

I always hold the door open for people. They either appreciate it like a normal person or get offended like a special snowflake. It's a win-win situation.

In 2001 after being approached by Scientology recruiters, Keanu Reeves is reported to have said, "Why join a cult... when I can BE a cult?!" Allegedly he shoved the recruiters to the ground and ran away laughing maniacally. 5 months later his agent finally located him in a small African village near lake Victoria, leading an apocalyptic death cult. The UN report on the aftermath remains classified but rumors speak of mass graves, human sacrifice, and murals of Mr. Reeves' face made out of the bones of children. Beneath the village it is said that the cult of Ogamboo Metukalu (The One) had 2,000 slave laborers digging a secret underground temple complex where the cult intended to live after the Apocalypse. Mr. Reeves' agent says the Hollywood star has put that part of his life behind him and chalks it up to poor judgment brought on by a flu, but if that is the case, why does Keanu continue to make routine trips to Africa to this day? And why are cases of missing children around Lake Victoria more than 20 times higher than the average of the rest of Africa? Mr. Reeves' agent declined to comment.

People are never offended if I hold the door for them. They either walk on past me and don't say a word or they'll thank me and I respond with a you're welcome.

I don't hold the door open for someone wanting a response from them, I just do it because its a nice thing to do.

Though I remember back in the day when my mother was shopping I'd hold the door open for EVERYONE at the market nonstop and count the thank you's I got till my mother was done. Sometimes it was 50/50, sometimes a majority, sometimes very few. And I was a young child, too.

Some people are just more attuned to positive mannerisms than others.

Are you American as well? I hold the door open for both men and women out of habit since that was what I was raised to do - it is rare that anyone would take offense and become uppity about it (the 7-11 woman was an isolated incident) and no I do not seek praise, but I certainly don't expect to be treated as though I just assaulted someone that's why the article in question surprised me so much - there are murders and kidnappings happening all over yet don't you dare address me as 'sir!'

If it's any comfort, I've seen crazier things before. Like someone claiming that heterosexual vaginal intercourse was inherently rape. I think I might have lost brain cells from that one.

And the saddest thing? It's not the first nor last time a SJW will claim it's rape.

I always hold the door open for people. They either appreciate it like a normal person or get offended like a special snowflake. It's a win-win situation.

This guy gets it. Rek special snowflakes with kindness.

Witnesses report that while Bale was visiting the memorial with his wife, Bale asked the crowd gathering nearby what they thought of his movie. Allegedly, no one in the crowd had seen it yet because they felt uncomfortable going to the same theater where this horrific accident took place. Astonished and seemingly upset by this, Bale forced the entire crowed into the movie theater and made them buy tickets to the next screening of The Dark Knight Rises. After a heated argument with the staff, Bale was finally able to convince the manager to let him and the crowd see the film in the same theater where the shooting took place. One person described Bale's behavior while watching the film as, "erratic and horrifying. He [Bale] would laugh and scream out to the theater 'That's me! That's me!' whenever there was a scene with him."

The irony, oh boy!

I'd say you're one of them too. Bitching about some woman who didn't thank you, because you opened a door and now using that as an excuse to be an *******.

Christ, doesn't take much to ruffle anyones feather here.

For someone who accused someone someone else to just use something as pretext to being a whatever it was you imagined hidden behind those asterisks, you sure went on to go on a rant which amounted to the exact same thing, and with no less asterisks ...

I'm sure this thread will have a long and prospering future.
