That's what some feminists think, for real. Opening a door for a women is sexist, because you're making it seem like they can't do anything for themselves. I was actually told this.

:dead:

I don't open doors for anybody anymore. I just keep em open if somebody is behind me.

A feminist told me that men started opening doors for women because during ww2 they would let the women go out first to draw sniper fire.

I would mos def say im am however:


it depends somewhat on:

what is meant by chivalry OR better yet what do you consider to be chivalrous. In particular, whether or not an individual is including different treatment based on the superficial feature of sex under that umbrella.

what it means for an ideology to be "rooted" in something. In other words, do we regard "rooted" as a crux and essential component of the ideology, or merely descriptive of something's possible origins?

what would be define as sexism. Particularly, whether or not respectful or good treatment of an individual is based on the superficial feature of sex should be considered sexist.
