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?

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.
