Ask a feminist.
I hold doors for men because I am a polite fellow. I hold doors for women because I am a polite fellow and because women are the fairer sex.
My grandmother - an upright and always correct woman with manners to shame the parson's wife - told me if I held doors for ladies it would get me a hot wife.
I'm madly paraphrasing of course.
You know what? I did get me a hot wife. In no small part because I was and remain chivalrous. So yes, Dana and Ann, I'm holding the door for you because you're a chick and I am a guy and that's the way the game is played.
Deal with it, sweet cheeks.
In terms of good advice a genteel lady born in 1901 has it all over a pair of girls chattering about culture and sexual mores and other things they do not understand.

Welcome to our third installment of "Ask a Feminist," in which our own Dana Goldstein and Ann Friedman address a topic related to gender and feminism. Today's episode features a question from Brad Plumer: "Is it sexist for men to open doors for women?"
I hold doors for men because I am a polite fellow. I hold doors for women because I am a polite fellow and because women are the fairer sex.
My grandmother - an upright and always correct woman with manners to shame the parson's wife - told me if I held doors for ladies it would get me a hot wife.
