Man woman child Martian I will open the door for you if I’m in a position to do so but I ain’t waiting with the door open for 30 seconds while you take your time
I’ll never hold the door unless it’s a public building, they’re close enough that I wouldn’t need to hold it for long, and they aren’t a woman within 10 years of my age. My anxiety can’t risk me being seen as a creep so I don’t want someone to think I’m holding the door for them cause I’m attracted to them or anything like that.
Just keep a permanent look of disdain on your face, like if the person is really inconveniencing you.
That’s AI, isn’t it?
yes that is An Image
Pretty sure that’s just a photo filter.
Unless they have a signed JUDICIAL warrant with your name and address on it, that door remains shut.
If men wouldn’t open doors a slowly increasing number of them would be stuck in rooms.

Must be ugly men who can’t even get a lady to open the door for them…
But for real, I’m a woman who opens the door for people who are approaching regardless of their gender and I wish for few things more than exclusively women who say things like this to have to deal with the men who get all pissy at a woman holding the door for them
i usually either opt for going through windows, or wait for a woman or an enby to open a door and then run at them aggressively before they close it
On Lemmy, men only use doors. Anything but windows, right gang?

BAZINGA!
Surely if you are near a door and someone wants to come through you open and hold it for them regardless of sex?
Thats what I do. Hilarious if just so many people pour into the building and im stuck there for 5 minutes until some other poor schmuck takes my place.
I just hold it long enough for them to not have to open it again, but I let it go once they are in range to hold it themselves.
And as they pass through you say ‘Age before beauty.’
If it’s a man coming, I purposefully and with force, slam it shut and block it with my body.
If you just stand there, waiting for another man to
cumcome , that makes you gay.Stick it in the letter slot and I’ll help you out.
I ONLY hold it if there’s sex.
Gender is irrelevant.
Been my experience with random people for like a decade or more. The only people I’ve run into who seemed to care was this elderly couple in Alabama (I was visiting, live in GA) where the wife always waited for her husband to open doors, and my sister-in-law who has my brother open doors for her.
She also chastised me for not walking over to my mom’s door and opening it for her when we were all eating out once, to my mother’s confusion because she’s used to opening her own doors.
I really don’t understand people who want that. It’s so infantilizing to have someone else do basic shit for you, especially if you need to wait for it. It crosses a line from basic politeness to learned helplessness and is often a motivation for weaponized incompetence, so I also don’t understand the people who do those things for a partner that demands it. It would be an instant loss of interest for me.
It’s often an enforcement of gender roles, but you also see issues the reverse way for helplessness and incompetence: old men who do not know how to cook or handle any household chores because their wives always did it for them.
I used to work in a brew pub. I had a woman once criticize me for not going out of my way to get the door for her. I was behind the bar, so that would have required me walking like 20’ away and then 30’ back to front to get to her.
She let herself in then called me out for not opening the door for her. I responded with “I needed to make sure you werent a vampire, since they can’t enter uninvited!”
She grimaced and one of the regulars chimed in “youre wrong, shes definitely a harpy, not a vampire!”
And she stormed out.
Hilarious. So much for gender equality amiright? I bet she’d get all uppity if you told her to make you a sandwich, too.
No.
Tailgating is against company policy.
The highlight of my corporate career was firmly pulling the door closed behind me, right in front of our security officer, who was following behind me.
I don’t, I like watching people bumping into them
I have explosives. I make my own doors.
I do find it odd that there is never anything but a pile of rubble on the other side though.
