[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I sent DD last year and I thought it was worthwhile. We talked about the gender stuff with DD at home, because it is old fashioned, but I also think there's value in knowing the traditional behavior that many people practice and expect, and that includes some gendered etiquette. As a small example, I'm a woman and will hold the door for people around me. But I work with several men who will move to get the door or let me exit first, and there's value in knowing how to gracefully accept that courtesy instead of being surprised or awkward about it. And someone being gay does not alter the social expectation around who gets the door. [/quote] If you need to pay some organization a bunch of money to learn how to go through a door someone is holding, that’s the least of your problems. Christ almighty. [/quote]
