I've never understood this one
If I'm in a position where it would be polite to hold open the door, I will hold open the door fro pretty much anyone, regardless of gender. I've never had a bloke get weird about it - don't understand why women would.

I'm pretty much the same.
But sometimes, "shock horror!!!", I'll let a woman hold the door open for me.
If I hold the door I'm being polite or, possible, just trying to make things more efficient. If anyone were to reply along the lines of the "feminists" above I'd just reply "Fuck off, you cunt.".

I think a pleasant smile and a sincere "yes dear, of course" would get the message across far more effectively.

Yep, same here
If there's someone behind me I hold the door open. The same if there's someone in front of me and I get to the door before they do. Just good manners innit. Plus the far too infrequent thank you makes up for it.

I tend to
loudly say "thank you" for the self obsessed twunts who fail to notice I have bothered to stop and open the door for them.

I tend to open doors for wimmin.
So I can check out the rear view. Maybe I do have a sexist dated attitude.
