BUT AS A MALE IVE BEEN CALLED ALL THE NAMES UNDER THE SUN FOR HOLDING A DOOR OPEN FOR A FEMALE..ILL HOLD A DOOR FOR A KID ITS CALLED MANNERS AND ALL AGES DESERVE RESPECT..ALL THE BLOODY IDIOT UNIVERSITY TEACHERS HAVE A LOT TO ANSWER FOR ..THIS CRAP ABOUT NEVER OFFENDING,CRITISIZING BEING OVERPOLIYE IS CRAP..PEOPLE NEED TO SPEAK THEIR OPINIONS AND IF IT OFFENDS SOME ,WELL THATS LIFE..IM ALL FOR BEING POLITE,NICE ETC BUT P/C GOES TOO FAR.

As a female I say thank you to any gentleman who opens the door for me.
I appreciate that his momma taught him to do that. She instilled manners in him that he carried on in life. It doesnt mean that I am weak. It means I appreciate the gesture of kindness.
