Exactly. There's nothing inherently wrong with holding the door open for someone, but the question is are you doing it because you're being generally polite (do you hold doors open for people regardless of gender?) or are you doing it because she is a woman and needs to be treated as somehow special. Benevolent sexism is still sexism.
