I think we can all agree that there are double standards in our society when it comes to men and women, right? If you ONLY hold open doors FOR WOMEN, that is moderately sexist, right. When you get up on a bus ONLY FOR A WOMAN, isn't the implication that, "Whoa, ma'am, here you sit down, because you'll need to rest your pretty little legs. No, don't worry about me, I'm a man, I can handle it". Maybe that's not what is going on in your head, but some people look at it like that. And if i were treated like that as a matter of custom, i'd probably feel demeaned.
Another way to think about it, you're letting someone take your place for the sole reason that they have a vagina. I don't have a vagina, i can't sit down.
