My mother sat my sister and I down at 8 and made us read a book written in 1911 on how women were expected to treat men. I thought men got off lightly with the door holding, my head was spinning after reading it.

Yes there is. It's called having your children and it requires a woman to carry a child in her womb for 9 months, brush death giving birth and constant nourishment from our bodies.

Until you can do that just open the d*mn door and quit b*tching about it!! Good grief!

Oh yeah, there was this one time where I held the door open and saw some overweight ladies approaching in the background. I held the door open and was like "Hurry up, for Pete's sake" I didn't say that, but it was inside my mind. Coz otherwise, I'd have been mauled to death.

And I can bet they were annoyed, big time, coz I curtailed their slow, easy lunch walking.

If the OP's getting so annoyed, question is, is the OP overweight?

<since he's lit the fuse, he's scampering off to see the bomb explode> LMAO

I'd say thanks. Just as I would if a woman or child or old man or transexual held a door for me.

We are taught to treat women with honor and respect WITH OR WITHOUT OUR CHILDREN. Quite different, eh? Having a child in your womb for 9 months and getting the whole package in relationships sounds like something I rather do.

See, you are probably not going to have the baby of the guy who is taking you out at the moment. Still, you get to enjoy the whole package of relationships with require you just to show up.

I am curious, what did the book talk about?

How women were to defer to men, to seek their guidance, learn how to manage the household and do what's necessary to respect a man as the head of household. It seemed endless to me at that age.

Not for me--I don't ever want kids.

No different than women are taught to take care of our men and children. Why does EVERYTHING between a man and a woman have to be equated to "just because I can do it, you should do it to"? Throughout time, someone has taken the first step......to open doors, to ask another out, etc. What I don't get is why does it seem to bother some men so much?

Just because I CAN change the oil in my car, doesn't mean I want to do it. I would prefer my husband or a mechanic take care of it. Is that sexist?? If so, guilty as charged.
