[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My boys (now young adults) always hold the doors open for women. They’ll also offer their seats, stand when a woman approaches them, etc. It has nothing to do with women not being capable of doing so. It’s simply a demonstration of respect. They do the same for older people. [/quote] Being sexist isn't respectful. They are making the assumption they are better than the women. That the woman needs them to do an act for her. If your son did those things for me, I would very politely help them understand that women are able to stand on a bus like a man, that we are not fragile or weak. That we can open our own car doors, that we can carry things. That there are all kinds of things that women can do. That respect is something you would do for everyone, not just those you see as weak and in need of your help. [/quote]
