I respect your point of view. But I disagree. I think that holding the door open, or offering a woman a coat, or even refusing the split a bill is a form of sexism. I don't doubt that this comes from a well-meaning place, and that all the man wants to do is be kind. What bothers me is that subconsciously this comes from the idea the men are strong and women need to be protected and taken care of. It just enforces those stereotypes. It is a nice gesture, though.
