> And then there are the women (or should it be something else? How do they pluralize 'womyn', anyway?) who get extremely insulted and huffy if a man happens to, say, hold a door open for them.

On the flip side, I really hate it when I try to hold a door for a guy who has his hands full and he insists on getting it himself because that's "not my place." Good grief, I'm trying to help.

I've always thought that the one who got there first or the one who isn't carrying an armload of stuff should be the door-holder. Gender seems so irrelevant in the matter.
