    As a guy who is looking hard at 49, I have to check in on this one.
    I was taught at an early age to hold doors for women, and have been
    doing so for most of my life. However, once women bid for, and won
    "equality", I have often been sneered at for doing it...by the very
    woman for whom I have held the door!! The typical comment is "Do you
    think I'm too weak to open my own door?....MEN!!!" I have had
    similar comments from handicapped or disabled people who do not wish
    to be viewed as any different from me or anyone else and don't want
    to be considered incapable of such a simple, everyday task. 

    It seems there's just no telling how a person will react to what was
    once a common courtesy. I will always hold the door for anyone,
    anywhere, anytime. I do it for older men, as well (I just can't see
    the need to do it for kids). I will always stand for a lady or older
    gentleman who needs a seat, open the door, or any of a number of
    common courtesies. I will not, however, relinquish my place in line
    for anyone unless it is an emergency. Waiting is not a handicap.
