Clearly there is a divide here.
Simply put both sides are in agreement that people should be courteous to one another regardless of gender.
The only difference in position is whether or not this courtesy should be extended because it is the right thing to do (i.e. common courtesy) or the thing to do because it's what men do for women.
In the end, does it really matter so long as we are all courteous?
I do resent a woman who expects preferencial treatment because of gender (hell, I resent anyone who expects it, for example because you are wealty or nobility, etc.) but that isn't going to stop me from being courteous to them (unless they really push my buttons).
Can we all just take a step back and see that none of us is all that far off from each other's position on this issue?
