| Opening/Holding Doors For Women
Am I old? Is this an archaic practice now? What say you, men and women of REVscene...well, men and the three girls that come here by accident.
Funny thing happened to me today.
Walking into a store, I noticed a girl coming in the opposite direction, heading into the same store so I open the door and hold it open. Now she isn't like...far away. She's right in front of the door but I just happened to get there first.
And...she proceeds to give me all kinds of feminist bullshit about how she can open her own door and how women aren't weak or whatever.
I'm like... 
I tell her I'm just doing it because...well, those are manners. I would've opened the door for anyone regardless of gender in the same situation.
We're still standing at the door, by the way...and about 30 seconds have elapsed of her ranting at me. Just as I say how I would've opened the door for anyone, an older dude in his 40s or 50s was heading into the same store. I open the door for him and he says "Thank you, sir.". I nod back and look back at the feminist chick.
I don't say anything. I'm still holding the door. She gives up with that noise women make when they're pissed but can't say anything and walks through.
I didn't think this was an issue, really. Have feminists ever given you shit?
INB4 coolstorybro.
And no, she was not hot.

Wow, that's even worse then when you hold a door for someone, and they don't thank you, and they give you a look like it was your job to hold it for them.

Fortunately I've never encountered any "feminist" types. Usually they just give me a smile and I nod back. I really don't understand why they would give you crap about it though, its simply human courtesy.
I guess shes one of those women who thinks everything has a hidden chauvinist meaning.
Or maybe she just had a really bad day LOL.

Probably that time of the month for her.
I usually exchange smiles or a get a thank you whenever I hold the door.

I sympathize, same thing happened to me once, first lady I held the door for said thanks, the second started a feminist rant.
Was also yelled at by a feminist another time at a Safeway when I saw a lady trying to deal with her two screaming kids and 6 bags of groceries, and I offered to help her carry them to her car.
I don't understand feminists.  | |

I think you just got a taste of the random PMS rage.
This situation that you posted happened to me as well, but not as bad
as yours. I didn't get scolded. It was more like a dirty look.

Wow, some people in the world. I guess that kinda shows that you can't make everyone happy, even when trying to do the courteous thing!
I would have done the same thing as you and held the door for her. Good on you for not snapping on her though. It's always good to take the higher road. I would have done the same thing. I will continue to hold the door for any gender or age.
Common courtesy.

Should have just let go of the door and proceeded away after she said that bullshit.
I find the some elderly individuals are like that as well. Say they drop something and you help them retrieve it, they burst into anger saying how you think they are old and incompetant

Similar scenario happened to me about a week ago. I held the door for a lady pushing her kid in a stroller. Lady with the stroller goes in and there's another girl following her, so I held the door for her too. Might as well right? Wrong, she snapped at me saying she didn't need men to treat her differently and she was able to open the door herself. I told her, I had opened the door for the lady with the stroller, and because you were following her, I continued to hold the door and let you in first since I was ALREADY HOLDING IT. Like ForbiddenX said, for the most part I get a nod or a thank you, this applies both ways when other people do you a favor. It's just simple manners, get that through your head you cunt.

What a cunt. I hold the door all the time no matter who it is but if someone just blows by me without so much as a head knod or a thanks I'll shout out a, "you're welcome". It's pretty fucking simple, hold the door if you're first out and someone is coming in, say thank you if someone holds the door for you. I think for the most part people get it for those who don't eat a fat cock.
The cunt in your situation deserves to be smacked in the face with a big black dick and then pissed on.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Makes some people wonder what they're going through/been through for them to take a simple act of kindness and turn it into a personal attack... from a courteous stranger no less.

Never ran into a feminist though. Bitter bitches are bitter. Those probably have never been touched by men.
I guess it's just their personality. If they're a douche/bitch when they were young, they aint gonna change into nice people when they get old.

thats fucking retarded.. i always hold the door for the person behind me or even for the person coming the opposing direction if the situation calls for it.
i fucking hate the people who do not thank you for holding the door for them. the worst was when i held the door for a fucking c-lai and she bumped me on the way in and knocked my shades off in the process.
fucking bitch didnt even thank me and scratched up my shades

That happened to me as well.. In my building, out of all places.
I just nodded and let her speak her mind. I should have replied, "bitch... I'm holding the door for you so you can get home faster and make your ol' man a sandwich"
Perhaps next time. Posted via RS Mobile | |

I'd like to believe it's just an isolated incident. I hold doors open all the time (due to my frequent proximity to doors in my day-to-day routines) and I've never had anybody give me any shit.
Fuck her, she's probably one of those self-righteous bitches that have taken one women's studies course in college and thinks she knows everything that's wrong with society today. I have plenty of friends who call themselves feminists (guys included) and have never given anybody shit about such insignificant actions.

If shes still near the doorway, just release the door and let the door hit her.
For some reason, before I clicked this thread, I thought this was about "holding/opening car door for your gf or female friends".
