So it turns out that in this politically correct worl certain “women” are saying men shouldn’t hold doors open for them or offer them a seat ,
Because it means we are showing Male aggression.
Are you fucking serious!! This is just another example of Idiots having the right to be offended at anything they choose..

People should hold doors open and offer seats because it;s the polite and right thing to do. The gender of the recipient is irelevant but doing it just because the recipient is female seems a bit dated to me |

I hold doors open for people coming into wherever I am. I will also offer my seat to any man who looks like he needs it more than me. I do notice a lot of men will let me on a bus before them (which isn't necessary), except during peak times. It's every man for himself then. I have been on a train and been the only person to give up my seat for a noticeably pregnant woman. |

Personally, I only hold the door open for men. Once or twice this has resulted in a stand-off between me and a man who thought he should be holding the door open for me instead (since I'm a woman). It's interesting to see how long a man will wait before finally giving in and going through the door I opened.
(The bit about me only holding the door open for men is a lie, the rest is true, though.) |

I’m a total traditionalist. I like to look after my man, cooking etc and I like him to look after me back doing “manly” things such as opening doors, carrying bags and putting the bins out. It just makes me feel special when he puts in the effort to do that.
Day to day I would always hold the door for who ever but I do like it when men say ladies first and I have been offered a seat on the train before which I declined but I thought the offer was nice... unless he mistook my fat for pregnancy

I just try and be polite and kind to anyone - it really is amazing how many people nowadays though (younger women particularly) look at you as if you're some kind of twat when you offer them a seat etc.
Feminism gone mad in my opinion. |

I personally don't like for someone to open a door for me unless of course my hands are full then it is different |

What's amusing is seeing all of this backfire horribly on young women. By and large, women aren't approached/flirted with/complimented any more (certainly become the case among my age group and younger) and theyre angrier and more self-conscious for it. |

This isn't the experience of our children who are your age group. Our daughter reports very similar experiences to mine although she was given the tools to handle those experiences very differently.

Having to tolerate the 24/7 campaign of victimhood (endless whining on Twitter, marching around London shouting meaningless slogans like cretins, etc) and the spite and venom aimed towards white men (only white, for some reason) - it's good to see that their awful behaviour isn't being rewarded with happiness. |

It’s true, I offered to lift a suitcase while boarding a train because she was struggling and she was very upset with me for offering help.
Since then I don’t offer any help unless an old or less able person needs it. |

I don’t offer my seat up on a train or bus for anyone pregnant either.
They got themselves into that situation, they can suffer the consequences. |

Wish women would hold the door open for me then. When they see this beard, first thing they do is a runner.

It’s so sad that this is how society thinks ... it’s just good manners to offer assistance to someone who looks like they may need it.

I call it "not being a selfish cunt".
I have been stuck in car parks for hours at a time as a result though. |

Surely these are grammatical errors rather than spelling mistakes?  |

We were in Holland last October and I gave up my train seat to an oldish lady and her granddaughter, I had to stand for just over an hour. Her (I presume) son was ever so grateful that I had helped with a seat for his mum and daughter. I was happy to help, she was happy to sit and we made good conversation for an hour with some nice people. There's nothing wrong in acting like a gentleman or a lady. It doesn't mean I'm denigrating a female, demeaning a female or feeling superior I her. I'm just trying to be nice. Is that wrong? |

So one person reacted negatively and you don't offer help anymore? Does that not seem a disproportionate response? Surely being nice to people should be a far more altruistic behaviour than beong driven by a need for praise? |

I hold doors open for anyone. Invariably they say thank you and quite frequently, when there are multiple doors to negotiate, they will hold a door open for me.
I give compliments to anyone when I think it is warranted and only ever get thanks.
I offer to help others when their luggage is heavy and they appear to be struggling. It’s only ever been met with gratitude.
I’m not going to let a minority of extreme views change my behaviour.

I enjoy the differences in etiquette between the way men and women behave to each other. I know it’s frown upon these days but I don’t want a man to behave towards me in the same way he would behave towards a man. So yeah I love things like a man holding a door for me when he doesn’t have to.

I believe equality is flawed, we are all different after all. I wouldn’t want someone to be bullied or frowned upon by their sex, age, race etc. However there’s nothing wrong with accepting we are all different. Nature has a funny way of levelling things out and I find one persons strength is often negated by a weakness is another area and concentrating on strengths rather than weaknesses is important. Discrimination is a problem when it’s negative but it’s a shame when people become scared to express their thoughts. We are all different and there’s nothing wrong with admitting it |

" We are all different and there’s nothing wrong with admitting it"
Yes, we are all different *as individuals*
That's why it's not very helpful to generalise and say 'women are like this' or 'men are good at that' |
