Today, I was told off for not holding the door open for a woman behind me at work. Yesterday I was informed that chivalry is offensive to women, as it implies that they are not equal to men. I can't win. FML

Today, I held the door open for a woman and her kids on my way out of the bank. She started accusing me of patronizing her, and when I just let go of the door in protest, she deliberately leaned in so it hit her in the face. I felt the glares from the entire bank as she pretended to cry. FML

Today, I got into an argument with a militantly feminist co-worker of mine. She threw several vulgar insults at me and debased the entire male gender before storming off. I'd only asked if she needed help while she was doing a crossword. FML
Today, while serving two middle-aged women at the coffee shop, I was screamed at and accused of being a "sexist and chauvinistic bastard." This was prompted by me charging one of them 40 cents for the addition of steamed milk, which is clearly stated on the price sheet. FML

True equality is never equal.

Isn't it just normal to hold the door open for anyone? I'm a female and I hold a door for male, female, older or younger because where I'm from its not an act of chivalry but courtesy.

The only way to win is to do what you think is right and not worry about those who share a different view.

So before the conversation you had about chivalry, you wouldn't have held open the door if it was a guy? Rude. How about treating every one equal, aka don't do something or say something JUST because they're a woman, or just because they're a man. Try some manners instead of worrying about what to do around woman specifically, seriously who doesn't hold open a door for someone that's right behind them? It's common courtesy!

Some people are weird. Just like sometimes when you try to let a car go first, they refuse to. It has nothing to do with gender. People need to stop being so focused on gender. What if he was staring at her chest? We don't know. Plus, chivalry should be applied to both sexes, not just men.

Chivalry never gets old. The only women it's offensive to are feminists who hate men n why would u want to be with a psycho like that. Just keep being sweet op.
