There Are two extreme variations of opinion here and I kind of stand in the middle. I would have given my seat up if asked too but in the back of my mind I would have wondered why she needed it more than I.
I constantly hold doors for women and men because I think it's polite. I was brought up that way but by no means claim to be the man of the century for it lol. Some women would be extremely offended if you tried to offer your seat to them. My boss is o e for example...an extreme feminist. Her response would be along the lines of why...am I too weak to stand jerk? Something along those lines anyway haha.
You just never know. I'll continue to probably give up my seat and hold doors but that still won't make me question the manhood of the 10 other guys that didn't. Back to the Staal thread I guess. God I'm bored.
