    Holding doors open for Women etiquette?

    Do people still do this or is it now non pc because of equal rights ?
    I had an incident where I was walking through a door with the door opening away from me when a girl thought I was letting her through and proceeded to squeeze through a small gap. Not bothered I shuffled back but had to stretch my arm out (superman style) to keep the door open.
    I always thought the person the door opens to holds it open? or am I wrong?

    Did you try squeezing it through her small gap?

      She clearly is a frotteurist.

        Hold the door open for other people regardless of gender.

        Or if you don't like them, let go just in time so it shuts in their face.

          What Faqqer said. It's got nothing to do with women, it's simply good manners.

            Lots of men still do this. It's not expected, but is nice when it happens.

                Any woman who has a go at you tell her you open the door for everyone as you were brought up properly.

                  Don't be one of those pillocks that stands there holding it while you are 30 feet away meaning you feel obliged to run though. If she's a woman she knows you are doing it just to make her tits wiggle and if it's a bloke he will assume your gay and are watching his cock swinging. Either way don't so it.

                    Might sound silly, but a lot of doors are actually very heavy for very petite women to push/pull. So I don't think it even has to be some kind of chivalrous thing - I just might not make a special effort for a man in the same way as I don't generally offer to help a young man carry his shopping to his car where I might for an old lady.
