Should Men Open Car Doors For Women?

[Political_dude]

Yes, Men should open car doors for women

Yes, If he's a gentleman

No, that's sexist

No, Because women can do that themselves

You're doomed either way

[Anonymous]

yes, especially if his woman is pregnant or extremely sick with food poisoning. One time I was sick with food poisoning and I was too sick to cook so I asked my husband to take us out to eat. When there I asked him to open and close the door for me, he was SO angry doing it and he asked why he had to and I told him it's because I was weak from throwing up for a day and a half and he was still super ANGRY. I think it's because he dated a feminist before me and he has this idealogy that if men has to do it for women all the time than also women should treat men the same way. if men had to work for women to stay at home than woman should also do the same and so on and so forth. Men want to be asked out now they want the woman to pay the meals now, they want to be the stay at home trophy dad now, they want to sit and nap all day and still have the woman act like a man and a woman by having the woman still having to clean the house, do the groceries and also cook and watch the kids... disciplining is 100% the woman's job so that the man can be the "good" cop where the kids like their dads more and the woman can be the 'bad" cop... that's how men think now a days... it's the new century

You should put a collar on that husband, if he doesn't look after you when you're sick, what happens when he gets I'll. Plus all the other stuff he needs motivation if he sits at home all day. A couple of slow cookers and a mop and broom, make sure the bathroom is clean, it would take 3 hours to do. As long as your not a clean freak, that polishes the fridge once a week.

[Opinion Owner]

@monkeynutts we have a slow cooker. I broom once a day, and clean the bathrooms once a week. I mop once a week. When he is a little sick, he is acting super sick. Stuff that I think normal guys do. I'm not a neat freak but I do like the house slightly clean and organized.

[monkeynutts]

He might actually be I'll. probably needs to eat healthier. Take most of the sugar out of his diet. Processed foods are a no no, I watched a dock the other day and found out that sugar is added to more than 80% of all grocery items. I'm going to go back to making sauces from scratch, the quality ha gone down hill in manufacturing in the last decade.

[monkeynutts]

Doco sorry

[Opinion Owner]

@monkeynutts yah probably true! They just want to make money, and could care less about how unhealthy the food is. Probably has a ton of sugar in them.

I can open the door for myself, and is an efficient way of getting in and out of the car. I definitely appreciate when I am dressed up, in high heels and get the extra nice help, it's a very sweet thing to do (sometimes it's also a need, it's very difficult to get out of the car if the sidewalk is too close to the door, or if the floor is uneven)

[nickyBBB]

Lol I open doors for both men and women and I'm a girl cos tryna be polite. Plus most of the times my brother/father open the car door for me cos when I open it it gets back to me cos we park usually in like an up... never mind I can't explain 😂 but the door is heavy for me to open from the inside okay 😂 I'm weak 😂

[Political_dude]

Your opinion doesn't count. You're a hamster

[nickyBBB]

Discrimination!

[Veronica101]

It isn't mandatory, but its very kind. I once was out with a guy just as friends and he opened every door for me. Even gave me his coat, a real gentleman. I told him he didn't have to, but he insisted. Makes you feel special, but not all guys have to do it.

[PoliceLivesMatter]

You know, I wouldn’t mind doing any of these things for women but I feel like recently women have “changed” in a way. More seem to be cynical of men and more hateful. Not all of course

[InfoBot]

Yes but only to push them out when you're driving at 90.

[Political_dude]

That's cute <3

[MysteriousDarkness]

If you are driving then how would you open the passenger door? I do not recommend it.

[Cammy137]

I dont think there should be an expectation that men would open the car door. Id only open the door for a woman if there was a reason why she may struggle to do so

[CubsterShura]

Where is the other option?

You don't have to open car doors for those with whom you're casual and close. Doing it for a woman who is your colleague, or doing it for your partner at times ain't that bad! Just little acts that makes a woman feel loved <3 but it's not necessary to do it all the time.

The case of new cars is different. If I but a new car and drive it then I will open the door for anyone. I think everyone should do it.

[Apricity]

I don't think it happens much anymore because it's been realized that it's a waste of time. I don't wanna sit in the car and wait for the door to be opened for me when I can just do it myself and save time. It's not really about being a gentleman or about being independent to me.

[Deathraider]

Well I'd say any works. What really annoys me is when people state they can open the door themselves and they aren't kind about it. That's like someone carrying your luggage and you saying "I can lift those myself. You're sexist!" It's not sexism, it curtesy.

[ThreeSheetsToTheWind]

I think it's a nice gesture although I can see the argument for it being sexist. I don't necessarily agree with it but I can understand the reasoning.

In any case I don't think it should be expected of men. Women are perfectly capable their own car doors. People say things like it's just being courteous but to me courtesy should not me gender specific.

[ThreeSheetsToTheWind]

That last but one sentence should have read "women are perfectly capable of opening their own car doors".

[hahahmm]

I am a gentleman if she’s a lady.. to me being a lady means:
*never demanding that I open the door or getting bitchy if I’m not in the mood.
*not expecting me to run to the door. Not giving a tude.
*saying thank you

[hahahmm]

And if she is the type who does not want her door opened that’s fine. I’ll respect that.

[coralee]

I never got this one, it just seems ridiculous sitting in a car waiting for a guy to come around and open the door. I can't even understand why anyone would want that.

[Isaack]

If it’s convenient, then a man should open a door for a lady, walk on the street side of the sidewalk, and be generally obliging. If it’s not convenient, then trust women to take care of themselves.

[maiave]

It’s not that big a deal... I’d you do - cute, definitely a gentleman move - If you don’t, whatever, it’s just pushing a button and giving it a push; it’s not rocket science?

[TadCurious]

I think it's a nice gesture and it's the way I was taught growing up. Of course girls can open car doors by themselves, but that's not the point of extending the courtesy.

[Pretty_Sexy_Wild]

No he should not. I am a capable independent woman and do noy need a man to do things for me. I find this very much a sexist gesture.

[MysteriousDarkness]

@Pretty_Sexy_Wild You come across as the type that would put someone down if they tried to do something for you or at least asks to help out with something that you can do yourself. Getting upset over someone opening a door for you means you get upset way too easily.

[Oram52]

There are many independant women who appreciate chivalry.

[leifleoden]

I'll make sure to remember that the next time I see a woman struggling with something. If they ask for my help I'll smile and say "I am a femminist" #femminism

[jennifer_bloom]

They don't have to but its a very easy way of winning a positive appraisal of you by your date without any sacrifice or effort.

[qxeenrrose]

Its traditional. Yes. Blah blah blah.

I don’t go by tradition but if a guy doesn’t then I won’t give a shit.

[ladsin]

Doesn't matter. I open the door for either sex if they let me, if they open the door on their own it's no skin off my back.

[Shane9]

They can if they want. It's only necessary in special situations like injury, but that goes for women too.

[Leo3572]

I would do that for my girlfriend. I also do that for my mum or my grandmother. I got teached to do so. I feel ashamed when people think that's sexist. Not all traditions are bad.

[CT_CD]

cf.girlsaskguys.com/.../...b-9e2c-e62344b45927.jpg No, Because women can do that themselves

[Whatthefluff]

I open the car door for my brother and dad sometimes. To me, it's not about the gender; it's just being polite. Or, in my case, being impwtient.

[Whatthefluff]

Impatient

[jafachris]

I used to for my now ex wife, she loved it and liked when it made other girls jealous

[leifleoden]

And she still dumped you #femminism

[jafachris]

Touche... they do say, nice guys finish last

[leifleoden]

Glad you took it in the spirit it was intended. We've all been dumped for trying to do the right thing 😊

[PrincessPie]

I've only had one boyfriend do that for me, and its not necessary but its sweet.
