"Study co-author Jin Goh said: 'Benevolent sexist men hold women in high regard and are willing to sacrifice themselves to save and protect women."

"the insidious nature of benevolent sexism will continue to be one of the driving forces behind gender inequality in our society"

So, if you don't want to be an "insidious benevolent sexist", you must be in favor of not protecting women. That's pretty much what I'm getting from this article. Hence forth, my stance on women is: f*** 'em, they're on their own.

It's just a door. I hold them for anyone within a few steps of the door when I am entering. Male, female, old, young, whatever. It's just a freaking door. I don't have the time of inclination to waste brain cells pondering how my actions might be perceived.

They are free to halt their forward progress until such time that I stop holding the door and/or smiling and do it them damn selves if they are feeling oppressed.

It's no wonder the UK is filled with rude ***holes. They publish trash like this to try and encourage a decline of common courtesy.

About 20 years ago while stationed in Alaska, I had a lady get upset cause I held the door open for her.
After I retired and moved back to Tennessee, I had a lot of them get mildly pissy about calling them ma'am.
Has not deterred me none.

You got to be kidding me.... That's a whole bucket of WTF right there.

I open and hold the door and car door for my wife and any other female that I may be in the company of. My father and grandfather would have set me on my rear-end if I did anything other than that.

Common sense and common courtesy are not common anymore....

When I was younger things like that bothered me. I had a work friend that would make me let him pay every single time we went out to dinner/lunch and that made me extremely uncomfortable. He finally informed me he was a man (I was probably 26, he was 40ish at the time) and that's what men did. After that I never attempted to emasculate him by paying again.

Most Kentucky men have good old school manners. Used to anyway

I'd like to hear some of the resident VN Ladies give a few thoughts on this "benevolent" list.

Should be common courtesy for anyone. The attitude seems geographic. Lived near Chicago for a couple of years and got several ugly looks when I did this. Coming out of a store one day and the girl actually stopped and said, “I don’t need your ****ing chivalry.” She continued forward.

So instead of being offensive I opted for full prick mode by letting go and watching the door snap back and smack her right in the face. I exited through another door, turned around and enjoyed her priceless look of horror/rage and remarked, “How about my contempt?”

Some of these radicals don't know what an "egalitarian society" is.

- Hold the door open:

"Don't patronize me! I'm fully capable of opening the door for myself you raging chauvinist"

- Suggest women become eligible for the draft:

"No thanks, we pass"

- Finding "gender inequality in job fields" studies pushing women into STEM and wonder why women aren't being pushed to drive garbage trucks, work oil fields, etc:

"We don't want those jobs and we don't want men as nurses either... oppressing us with their door opening gestures of benevolent sexism."

If holding a door open in benevolent sexism, isn't this malevolent?

And I think the term "malevolent" is sexist. It implies directly that males wish to do evil upon others. Down with the Patriarchy!
