I don’t see how holding a door open for someone could possibly be considered submissive behavior. I don’t see how it could be whatever the opposite of submissive behavior would be either.
It seems something entirely different, since it’s common courtesy. It’s like saying thank you to someone or not blocking the sidewalk. It’s neutral behavior if really anything. Not holding a door open for someone for the sake of preserving ones ‘manliness’ seems like something that would be seen in a comedy skit making fun of stereotypes via exaggeration.

If it is, then I'll happily be submissive in those situations. I see it as polite, regardless of the person's gender. Submissiveness has never crossed my mind when holding a door open for anybody.
I hope you're not being serious 😂
Because slamming the door in somebody's face is so masculine
Hold the door closed on other men and your dominate or doomed?

Hold it open for a man - Submissive
Not hold it open for a man - dismissive
Knowing that people should cram it up their ass about someone being nice to them for less than a minute - priceless
Some people are just dumb.No, that's how I dominate men. I click my fingers three times, hold the door open, then point for them to walk through it when they try to hold it for me.
its an act of disrespecting somebody, this show them they are weak and that somebody has to hold the door for them. SHOW Respect toWHAMEN and MEN
Being polite isn’t synonymous with being submissive and being rude isn’t synonymous with being dominant

Actually, it means you are a socialist!No, you are fucking communist, you sharing your strength of opening the door with other people you filthy godless commie.

Through this portrayal of common courtesy you show that you are the superior man.
That's not submission. That's helping someone.
No, it's respectful. A common courtesy, really.
