[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I found is jarring when I moved to a southern city in the US and the men in the office did all this ridiculous business with door and elevator holding. In my office in the south, the elevator hierarchy went: Secretaries (all women), female professionals, then male professionals. So every day of your life, you are reminded of the office hierarchy, that despite your professional successes, you fit in between secretaries and all the men in the office. It was crazy offensive.

OP here.  I kind of agree with this.  Everyone I work with is nice, but my male coworkers refuse to ever do things like clean their old food out of the office fridge, or if someone brings food in to share, [b]they will just leave the dirty plate there for time eternal and wait for either me or the secretary to take it away.[/b]  Or recently, a coworker's dad died and two other coworkers asked me if I would be getting a bereavement card for the office to sign. It's annoying.  I would not mind something like the door holding if there were not this other side to it, but I guess it is what it is.  [/quote]

See, that is your issues.  Don't assume the role if you don't want it.  Leave the dirty plates there.[/quote]
