Re: Unpopular opinions

[(Anonymous)]

I do this for guys at work.

And you wouldn't believe how many of them will stand in front of it and refuse to move until I go first. Maybe 2 out of 12 will go ahead and walk through.

Asshats.

Re: Unpopular opinions

I've had guys actually awkwardly reach around me and try to hold the door open, despite me already holding it, to try and be the one to hold it open for me to go through. I usually just tell them, "Dude, just go through" or "I've got it, just go", but still - what is even the logic in this?

Re: Unpopular opinions

[diet_poison]

it's just what you said above. it feels emasculating to not be "the gentleman"

such a stupid attitude. :| that sounds really annoying. do you work in a really guy-dominated workplace?

Re: Unpopular opinions

[nyxelestia]

This is actually something I've done at school. My college study body skews towards young and multicultural enough that negative reactions aren't that prevalent. I'd say about a quarter react the same way the majority of women do (smile/nod/say thanks and walk through), about half will pause or stumble, and then just keep walking. Only the remaining quarter actually react, and react negatively, to seeing a woman - a petite and seemingly feminine woman at that - holding the door open for them.

My current workplace, thankfully, doesn't have much in the way of doors (and it's a minimum wage job with a fairly even split of genders, anyway).

I sometimes wonder if women ever feel weird about another woman holding the door open for them instead of a man, or if they really just notice I'm not a guy when I'm holding the door open for them.
