I don't go by what women say, I go by their actions. I tried opening a door for some women because I wanted to be nice. Of course, they called me a sexist jerk claiming "I can open my own doors!" So I let women open their own doors. Chivalry is dead.
You must live around some really horrible women. Thank goodness it's not like that here!!

No kidding...I cannot imagine snapping at someone simply because they opened a door.
If I'm walking ahead of someone and I come to the door first, I open it and let them pass. If someone snapped at me for that I think I'd be left completely speechless.

Agreed. I do the same. I have had some men and guys open doors for me. No big deal. I could be walking to church, and there'll be someone standing outside, and they walk over and open the door for me. I just nod and say thank you. If I am going somewhere and I get to the door first, I hold it open-men, women, couples, makes no difference.
So I do think some overly dramatic women have a hand in killing chivalry where a man doing anything nice is condescending and insulting.
Chivalry doesn't mean eating dog****.... why is just doing little simplebasic things like opening a door or being just slightly protective of a woman...
Why does these simple basic, easy to do and not out putting things, why do they offend the younger men so much... I ask sincerely without judgment... why does making a women feel just slightly special, why does that seem to offend the gen y crowd... women and men, apparently... men more so.......
I don't go around laying my jacket down in puddles of mud for women to walk across... but I do slight things... like I said.... just minor things like pulling a door open or allowing a woman to go in front of me if we happen to get to a line at the exact same time......

Sorry, I don't believe that for one second. People open doors for each other all the time going in and out of stores, etc. I have never in 52 years heard anyone get mad at anyone else for opening a door for them.

I believe him. I've been doing these chivalrous things for the majority of my life, and I've encountered many women who have said similar things.

I do truly believe that the perception is in the mind of the posters, if someone is an azzhat to me I don't automatically think it's because of their gender, religion, race or anything else. I just think they are an azzhat.

So you'd be at a 7-11 or something, and hold the door open for a woman behind you, and she called you a sexist jerk??? I live in New Jersey and even here where people are often rude and abrupt (including our own Governor), I have never heard of anything like this.
