I think I tend to try to let a woman walk through a door first, and I walk on the outside on the street. But that's probably because I'm an ancient creature.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
During all these years there existed within me a tendency to follow Nature in her walks.
I certainly came up in an era where women were really making strides and making a point to beat down doors and find their place and crash through the glass ceiling.
If you're walking with your lady on the sidewalk, I still like to see a man walking street-side, to protect the lady from traffic. I grew up with that, and I hate to see something like that get lost. I still like to see that a man opens the door. I like those touches of chivalry that are fast disappearing.
I always hold doors open, I always try to be nice.
As a modern woman, there are things I take for granted, and that shows up in the way I sit, the way I walk, the way I think, and what I know to be possible.
When I feel there's a door open, you always walk through it.
Around women, I try to remain calm and collected.
When I was growing up, we had a widow living next door to us. So the habit was that if we went to the grocery store, we called her first. If we cut our yard, we cut her yard, no questions asked.
I hold doors open for all the women. Men can open the doors for themselves.
Women have begun to see that if I go through that doorway, I take everybody through it.
