I have been cussed out for holding doors open for women, or standing aside so they could enter a building first.
Many people today just can't believe that a stranger would do something nice for them with no ulterior reason.
I find it sad but I understand why you did as you did.

Same here. I've held doors open for women, just because it was the way I was raised, and I've seen two different reactions to it. This first one is exactly like
rockogre said, they get angry and yell. The second is they are shocked that someone would hold the door for them.
It's really sad that common courtesy has taken a back seat to PC bullshit, but I don't blame you for what you did. The mere fact that you thought about doing that puts you well above many people out there.
