Should men open doors for women?

[Reach]

I guess it depends on the persons personal position on this.


I know I always hold the door open for people after I have opened it if they are near the door, man or woman. I always thank people when they do the same for me. If I know the woman, sometimes I will open the door and step to the side, letting them enter first. I don't really think much about it, it's just something I do to be nice. If someone did it for me I would thank them, naturally...I wouldn't find it 'degrading' but just...nice. As I see it if I hand out favors then other people will naturally do the same, and we can all be nice to eachother rather than simply having everyone tend to themselves.

However, lots of people still don't hold the door XD
