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 was leaving the grocery store when an old woman started yelling at me for not holding the door open for her. She accused me of being "everything wrong with the younger generation". It was an automatic door. FML
Today, I held a door open for my boyfriend and jokingly said, "Chivalry is dead?" He responded with, "Who's chivalry?" 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 was called a "transphobic bigot" at work because I told my coworker, a trans woman, that her clothing and behaviour were disrespectful and inadequate for the workplace. I'm also a trans woman. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

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.

I know so many people have said this already, but just hold the door for any person, not just females. A random act of kindness never hurts anyone.

lmao you can either like it or move on I dont care either way, your not going to effect my day or my thoughts of how women should be lower then men and here's the best part, every woman in this world knows that they aren't as equal as any male I don't care what he does she will never, EVER be big enough to carry his jock strap so get back to the kitchen bare foot, preggo, cooking, cleaning, and doing whatever else I tell ya to do.

I find it highly amusing how pathetic "luv2cheat" is. Based on spelling, grammar and punctuation alone, he is correct about not being equal - at least not equal to him. A vast majority (of men and women) are much more superior than he is.

First off I am NOT a feminist. Secondly not every women can cook and clean (this has got to be a shocker to you 73!) It is quite obvious that you are single and will more than likely stay single for the rest of your life if you don't change how you think. Like men, women just want a nice job where they will get a nice payroll and can retire with enough money to go somewhere.

134 - Even absolutes can have varying degrees. Just as a giraffe can be taller than a house, an office building can be much taller than a giraffe, while a skyscraper can be much more taller than both the office building and the giraffe. The vast majority are "much more superior" than he is. It's a matter of emphasis.

**** that. Holding the door open for someone behind you is called "not being a jackass".

I honestly just take the neutral route now and hold the door for both men and women, forget about equal rights, just be an over all gentlemen and be nice to everyone regardless gender. But don't get me wrong, if a lady tells me off for not opening the door for he, I would probably tell her off too. She have no right to demand such action from me. Just my opinion.

I am a girl but I do find it ridiculous that some want a guy who's chivalrous but also say that they are completely feministic and want to be treated exactly the same as men...make up your minds

It's very sad to read this post and the comments... This world is ******-up! Face it people we are just evolving to become as desensitized and ignorant as we began as animals... Now the problem with the world? ...the lack of respect for our earth, for our children - for the future we neglect for the morals, for the values, for the god that we select millions die everyday without a cause to Affect The problem with the revolution?...it's never gonna happen. Yes, the smallest things such as the Lack of Common Courtesy is an example of this world coming to an end... We're all just going to be(are) wild animals, for now we just happen to be the brightest of the bunch!

Nobody is nice enough to say thank you when you hold the door open for someone now a days. Some people are becoming really rude.

Welcome to the new world of misandry.. Unfortunately we've gone from oppressing women to oppressing men :(

Try the new book "understanding the female mind". Oh wait, it hasn't been understood yet, so no book. Best of luck OP, it's going to be a rough ride!
