Explain this?
The other day I held the door open for a woman and she started to shout at me and call me sexist and say "I don’t need a man to open a door for me". Was I in the wrong or was this woman just an ignorant feminist.
(I open the door for men and women out of courtesy)

omg.i must give credit to you..a gentlemen.more gentlemen in this world wouldnt hurt me...i think she'd nuts for scolding u back..nice fella u r..
What a *****! Nothing wrong with what you did. What's happened to courtesy amongst people? I think most women would still want you to be gentleman. Maybe she had some sand in her *****a
she's crazy. women like her have to relax. men are expected to do those kinds of things. you were right.
That was just so wrong of her..what an ignorant thing to do!!
No you weren't wrong in anyway. I am positively thrilled when a complete stranger will hold a door for me. She was just being an ignorant feminist.
Sounds like the woman was having a bad day or something.
she has issues. i appreciate someone opening the door for me. it's common courtesy. and i open the door for men and women alike myself.. don't change yourself because of others. laugh it off and do it again.
keep opening doors... some people are just angry and bitter and don't know how to simply say "thanks".
You weren't wrong by showing manners. Good on you. And that cranky women would have probably carried on if you hadn't opened the door as well.
How rude of her! You were just being polite and a simple 'thank you' would have been the appropriate response. I hold the door for people of all ages and both sexes and have never been shouted at like that, but have been ignored many times! I usually just shout after them "no, it's quite alright, that's my job!"
I think an ignorant feminist. Its always nice when people hold a door open for you. I don't think you were in the wrong.
you should have given her a slap and told her where to get off!
what a stupid cow!
i'd have gone mad its just politness nothing more nothing less feckin women like that do my head in!
shes an idiot. u did the right thing
you could open the door for me anytime, especially if i have a pushchair or loads of shopping.
she's just stupid, it's common courtesy to hold open doors for other people.
She was just being stupid. Probably a dyke.
You should have pulled her back through it, then slammed it in her face.
In Florida, I held a door open for a woman as I was exiting with my girlfriend, for the Amercan woman behind me, she was overwhelmed with gratitude as Amercan men just don't do it.
how horrible. maybe it was her time of the month or she had a bad day. thats a nice thing you did dont let nasty people stop you doing it.
She sounds like an ignorant, snobby, b***h. That was nice of you to do that, keep on doing it; there are a lot of women that appreciate your courtesy.
Swink, I too hold the door open for both men and women. Most people see this as plain and simple courtesy, but SOME women are so far up their own a**e that they can't see it as just that.
SOME women think that because you don't let the door slam into in their faces that your suppressing their own freedom to demonstrate that they are just as capable at opening doors as all the evil horrible men in the world - but don't let this minority of moronic females spoil it for everyone else - I'm sure most women out there appreciate not getting doors in the face, even though we can all open doors just as well as eachother.
You were being a gentleman and you should be proud of that. What she was doing was being ignorant and stupid and I hope she isn't proud of that.
She was more than overly-sensitive that day. I taught my son when he was little, if anyone is going through a door at the same time as you, hold it for them (man, woman, or child). It's just a nice courtesy to another human being. I would have said, "I'm sorry, ma'am, but I hold the door for everyone!"
Obviusly she is an ignorant feminist!!
I am a female and love being treated like that, she is just a grouch!
Keep up the good work :)
i would have called her an ungrateful fat *****, even is she was skinny, then walked away, it would have ruined the rest of her day, which by the sound of her is all she deserves.
I would have told her to get stuffed.I am a women & believe its polite to open doors,I always do it no matter what sex.
yeah, that's kind of crazy. some people are just psycho. i would appreciate it vs. just walking in front of me and opening the door for yourself just ignoring that there was anyone else there. and i don't think men EVER opened doors for women because women were incapable of opening doors.
Forget it, she was just an ungrateful wretch. When she's an old lady she will want people to hold doors open for her.
It is nice to see that there are still gentlemen out there. I have always maintained that the loss of common courtesies is the main reason why we are becoming a Nation of yobs, slobs and drunken louts and that is just the women, the men are worse
i think there is something seriously wrong with her. i'm female and i hold the door open for people whenever i happen to be about to close one into someone's face. it could be worse, i once had a woman shout at me for failing to notice that she was walking (some distance) behind me when i closed a door.
you should have slammed it shut in her face, by the way
I have had this happen, I work in an office block which has numerous doors. It is just polite for someone to hold the door open, sometimes it is easier if you have to pull the door towards you. It doesn't matter whether they are men or women.
You should have replied "oh are you a woman, sorry I didn't realise?"
I think it is only the odd woman who would do that, so I shouldn't lose sleep over it, she is obviously barking mad
Ignorant feminist.. and a rude one at that. A true gentleman will hold the door for either a man or woman, just out of politeness. Not everything is a feminist issue. She should have just said thank you and smiled.
And in case you ever opened a door for me, and I forgot to say thanks. thank you lol.
Don't let some lady with serious issues get in your way of being kind and courteous to other people. Trust me having someone yelling at you and calling you names because you opened a door for them does not happen often.
.and I would certainly hope not.
Lol
You were so not in the wrong and next time this happens, just let the lady yell and make a fool of herself while you stand there innocently. =)
Lol, everyone will look at her like she's nuts and feel sorry for you. Trust me, not a lot of people agree with that kind of behavior as you could probably tell by the number of people who responded and said you didn't do anything wrong. =)
Am I a bad person? I’m a good person but I’m not doing a good thing, and that its hurting others?
