The Ins and Outs of Opening a Door for a Woman
Door opening etiquette for when you open a door for a woman.
www.artofmanliness.com
Humans should stop expecting other humans to do anything for them and do everything by themselves for themselves, within their means and abilities, of course. Opening the door / holding the door open for another human being is really just a courtesy, a polite thing to do, especially if the person has their hands full and can't open the door on their own, but other than that, such treatment shouldn't be expected by default. Do it yourself.
to be honest, I never understood the whole ladies first thing.
why.
does it honestly matter who goes first.
when people say to me oh, ladies first, I always think okay, well, I'm not that impatient... I can wait, you know.

It depends on who has to go Number One and who has to go Number Two. Number One technically outranks Number Two, but Number Two makes a bigger mess.
A lady would accept such a courtesy graciously.
Those females that would object to such a gesture aren't "ladies".

Heaven forbid men see women as something very special and should be treated that way.
For women I hold the door for them to go in first and always will. For everyone else I hold the door open so they can go in behind me.

Lunatic feminists hate it until……. Then feminism is thrown out the door.
Funny you mention that, I have seen women be offended when a man holds a door open for them or pulls out a chair.
My husband still does that stuff; and I LIKE it!
Do you do it for him sometimes too?
As a matter of fact.......Do you do it for him sometimes too?
We recently had a 'discussion' about that.
If he has his hands full with heavy crap & I just have a little light stuff he goes ahead of me so he can open a door. I told him that I don't care what your father taught you, this is ridiculous!
So, yes, I won!
