i agree 97% with graeme's letter on the subject. we usually can tell
that a man is opening the door to patronize us when he pushes us out
of the way to get at it (slight exaggeration; it's actually a kind of
dance step).
remember that everyone is not as sensible as thee and me. there *are*
men who would prefer breaking a woman's arm to letting her hold a door
for them, however laden they might be, and women who will stand there
watching a laden man struggle for a door, and we have to live in the
same world with them.
