Dude, benevolent sexism is a problem just like "positive" stereotypes are a problem (e.g. not all Asians are good at math.) The idea that women need to be helped *more than* men creates an attitude that women are *less competent than* men. It also locks men into roles of strength, and defines weakness as non-manly. It's problematic & people should point it out and make others think about it. And please stow the "There are more important feminist issues" rhetoric, it's a poor argument.

If a smaller guy was being pummelled by a much stronger guy, I would help him just like I would the woman. Its about physical advantage, not just genitalia. I would never beat someone until they had internal bleeding like you though, just try to stop the fight as best I could.

I must say that I did not get that from healthyaddict's video. I think she was saying that making the gender distinction in your actions inadvertently enforces gender roles. In the long run this is detrimental to egalitarianism, and will cause people to feel uncomfortable when doing something no specific to their expected gender role. I very much doubt she thinks you're sexist for carrying the shopping, unless you are insisting on doing it because she is female.

i hold doors open for people all the time, even if its for a big muscle man. for me, i look at who got to the door first. if i got there first, then i'll waste a bit of my time holding it open for the next person regardless of their ability to do it themselves. i just view that as polite. so if a chick gets pissed that you wasted a bit of your time being polite, then she can go fuck herself because she obviously doesn't have anything better to do with her time.

Tell you what, lets just not hold any doors open for anyone. Lets never help old grannies across the street. Lets stop carrying shopping for people (male or female) who are clearly struggling with the weight.

In other words, lets all become rude, uncourteous assholes.

Well, my Skyrim wife should think so XD

@LiamE69 Nooooo! Damnit you feminists ruined it! :P

[AelaTheHuntress]

@ObtuseSage No, I think she was probably flirting with you. Anyway, don't be confused...there is nothing wrong with men being polite and helpful toward women, there is something wrong with that woman if she thinks so. Women would rather that men treat them like "one of the guys"??? No thanks, I don't want to live in that world. Yikes.

@TJGuitarVids Best comment here!

[AelaTheHuntress]

I don't see anything wrong with men being extra polite to women. If anything I think that the whole equality fight has turned men and women into hostile parties always out to prove something. There was never even a question of equality in reality, and now there is social and legal equality so we can stop fighting and start being good to each other. Men who hold doors are sweet, just sayin.
