Doors are oppressive

MonsterZero74 · 2020-10-03T16:25:52+00:00

What if I told you I hold the door for men AND women who enter the store just after me?

Can you imagine what a miserable existence it must be to see the world through the eyes of who wrote that?

StupidAlexxxx · 2020-10-03T18:08:36+00:00

As a woman, this is the most stupiest thing I have ever seen 😂. I am actually very appreciative when someone opens the door for me, and if someone doesn't, who gives a shit? People open doors to be nice not to be like "weak ass woman".

furry8 · 2020-10-03T18:09:51+00:00

Once again, this is a notorious troll account

dukunt · 2020-10-03T18:45:29+00:00

What about paying for dates? Does that imply that women are incapable as well?

Isn’t Katie’s satire

If only she had the same views about gender quota.

Sneakerkeeper123 · 2020-10-03T20:53:12+00:00

When did door holding become a hotbed topic. I hold the door for for a man or woman behind me. I appreciate when someone does it for me too. Isn't the point to just not be an asshole and hold the door? Being a 50 year old woman who isn't a flaming feminist really has me confused about what is going on in the world.

ronan_the_great · 2020-10-03T23:01:11+00:00

This account, @unbiasedkatie, is a well-known satire account.

speedythesequel · 2020-10-03T19:50:08+00:00

I've held the door open for basically every person who's followed me through a door since I was about 10.

I'm not changing. Stupid fucking post.

I'm not trying to gain anything other than not having the guilt of smashing a door in your face.

killerwolfs2000 · 2020-10-03T19:43:42+00:00

One time I held the door open for a girl behind me on my way into the Biology building on campus and she didn’t even acknowledge me, and then she opened the next door herself and legit pulled it closed behind her

Battleship1239 · 2020-10-03T21:31:09+00:00

Yes, I oppress my dogs weekly by putting them on a leash

Yes, I oppress my little brother every other day by putting his seat belt on him

Yes, I oppress women, by having fucking manners?

This is quite honestly, the dumbest shit I've ever seen...

jvmjr1973 · 2020-10-03T20:02:54+00:00

Gents, I was about 16 and had a 20 something lady scream at me for holding the door. That moment has really stuck with me. I am 47 and every time i open a door for someone it replays in my mind.

In case you're wondering what she screamed was " i can open my own F'ing door" as loud as she could about 2 inches from my face. I had held the door for my mom who had just walked through the door so i held it for her too. Her and my mom had words.

Manronx · 2020-10-03T23:20:44+00:00

As a man, I find this offensive. How dare she compare human women to toddlers and dogs. Human women are not helpless. We grown-ups buckle toddlers in because they cannot/will not do it for themselves and we don't want anything happening to them. We also put dogs on leashes so when they see a blasphemist bird or squirrel and instantly decide to murder it, they don't get hit by a car in the process. But women, women are human, and humans should exchange common courtesy. Like... holding the door for each other. The fact that this is what's rolling around in her head tells me that she is a horrible person. Not because she has super ridiculous views, but because we can all deduce that she doesn't hold doors open for other people. She sees a man, fuck that guy, let the door slam in his face. She sees a woman, she's a strong woman, she will not hold the door open for her because she is a big strong woman and she can open the door herself and she doesn't want to take that away from her. Women aren't helpless children or animals! YOU BETTER LET THAT FUCKING DOOR SHUT SO I CAN JAM MY FINGER IN IT WHEN I TRY TO CATCH IT FROM CLOSING ALL THE WAY AND END UP IN MASSIVE PAIN BECAUSE I'M A STRONG CAPABLE WOMAN, AND THIS IS WHAT I WANT!!! I'M NOT A FUCKING ANIMAL!

Suck-Less · 2020-10-03T16:58:58+00:00

I agree for other reasons. Men should not hold the door open for women. Why? Because it is so fucking rare for women to hold the door open for men that I remember the last one. 2 years ago, at a Panera Bread.

Men should stop helping random women, because random women think it’s beneath them to help random men. Men should only show manners to men.

Sumfuc · 2020-10-03T22:08:04+00:00

Every time I’ve held a door open for a Man I get a thank you.

I am advocating for equality, I hold the door for everyone. Since when helping and doing nice things is opressive?

I no longer hold doors open for women. I run ahead of them and hold the door shut. Thus helping them to fight the patriarchy.

Man checking in:

Whenever it's not an automatic door, I always hold the door open people coming in behind me. These can be men, families, young, old, doesn't matter. What drives me NUTS is when we're at a restaurant, my lady will not proceed to the counter and get us a table, or put us on the waiting list. She just stands off to the side, effectively letting the people I held the door open for cut in front of us to get a table. Ladies, it's ok to proceed to secure us a table while we're holding the door open for people. Growing up, if I hadn't held the door open, I would've got a slap to the head. It's just in my DNA.

TheWinterPrince52 · 2020-10-04T05:02:25+00:00

I hold the door for everyone because why the hell not? It's a nice thing to do.

I'll try to remember to shut the door in your face next time I see you though, just so you can feel accomplished for opening a door by yourself.

LexTheGayOtter · 2020-10-04T05:27:34+00:00

If someone is near the door when I walk through I hold it open for them, man or woman

DubsPackage · 2020-10-04T07:07:59+00:00

When I see a woman approaching the door, I pull it shut.

That way she has to fight me to enter the building, implying my belief in her equality.

If you see a man coming behind you please hold the door open for us. Door handles are gross and we don't want to touch them.

Where are the feminists that tell women not to accept chivalry? They always seem to tell men what to do. 😒

ElegantDecline · 2020-10-03T21:54:03+00:00

I hold the door for everyone. Fuck discriminating. This also takes the pressure off having to guess gender.

holding the door only for women is mostly a third world country thing.. and parts of europe

TheBachelor536 · 2020-10-03T22:06:58+00:00

No problem. I'll just close the door after me.

Dynged · 2020-10-03T21:59:40+00:00

Funny, because all my life it was women who called me a rude little bastard when I didnt give them preferential treatment; like holding open a door, or giving up my seat.

Fun fact about the seat one, i have a spinal cord injury that makes standing in one place for long periods agonizing, but nah, you're totally entitled to that seat because you were born a female, fuck my actual disability.

It was so the queen would get assassinated, and not the king. So clearly, it’s because we think you can fight off would be assassins.

I mean I dont know about you guys but I hold the door as courtesy for anyone. On top of that there is also I dont want to stare at someone while we decide who goes first into the door so i just fucking open it for them. Also not many people think the world revolves around their vagina like Katie does.

vhisic · 2020-10-03T21:55:46+00:00

its a general courtesy. I expect women to hold the door for me if they get their first as well. Its a door, were both going through it, there is no reason for either of us not to hold it. Would they prefer i rush to close it behind me so you get to experience what opening a door is like as if we all havnt done that a billion times. If something so trivial as this bothers someone thats a sign of how privileged they are.

siabango · 2020-10-03T21:59:52+00:00

I still hold the door open for everyone myself though, because I assume nobody else is as petty as I am.

How about we just take gender out of the equation and people can just be nice to each other? The only thing I'll say is that, to the men out there who refuse to go through a door a woman is holding open for them, suck it up, it's not threatening your masculinity. Let's let men and women hold doors for men and women, if they want to.

I hold the door for any one who’s right behind me, it’s just courteous. The only time I actually go out and of my way to hold a door is if there’s a little kid as I don’t want them to try and catch the door and smash their fingers. Or if someone is carrying something or obviously will have a hard time with the door (using a walker/ crutches etc.).

jonathan_the_slow · 2020-10-04T03:39:50+00:00

I’m the kind of person who does it for everybody and always says you’re welcome, putting extra emphasis on it when people don’t say thank you to me for opening the door for them.

Starmind0 · 2020-10-04T03:43:14+00:00

Telling men to open doors for women is sexist. Women expecting men to hold doors open is sexist. And men holding doors open for women, is sexist. Teach people to be kind all around. Teach girls to open doors for others, its a nice gesture and should never be gendered.

It's not saying that ur incapable of basic tasks unless your just tryna make an argument. And ontop of that, you know it's not just dudes who open doors for woman right, woman do it too, but if men said it was oppressive like this they would get fricken destroyed for it. It's literally common decency, called manners. Next thing they're gonna say is chewing with ur mouth closed is a way of telling woman to shut up. I'm not one to usually comment on posts but this just really has me upset dude. I hate people who make far-fetched idiotic statements about things with no correlation like this.

I remember at the start of the pandemic this lady was walking into the gas station and I was close behind her. Lady literally scurried in and slammed the door in my face,which was hard because the hydraulic thingy up top. She looked at me, did a finger wag and said "you social distance."

This was stupid

I know I'm young compared to some, I'm only in high school but I notice that girls at my school always hold the door for me as I always hold the door for them. Other guys hold the door for me too as I do for them. I guess my school likes holding doors..

Lmfao

ThePrettyBeebz · 2020-10-04T05:32:56+00:00

This is they type of thing that makes me ashamed to be a woman. Fuck this dumb cunt. I raised my kids to open doors for anyone who is behind them, no matter age or sex. A person holding the door for another human is polite. I hope this bitch gets slammed in the face with a door.

TheTerpinator9801 · 2020-10-04T05:53:31+00:00

It’s called common courtesy. 80% of the time I’m holding it for a man anyway. I just see more men get out of their car at the gas station while their woman sits in the car. So I hold the door open for them.

ithinkoutloudtoo · 2020-10-04T06:01:38+00:00

If you volunteer to do the simple things for women now, then later on they will demand that you do the bigger things for them without being asked to do so. By doing this, you are conditioning yourself for her own benefit.

COBY_NINJA · 2020-10-04T06:19:46+00:00

Y'all know this is a troll account right? It's part of a larger group of anti progressive accounts trying to put a bad face on BLM, LGBT, etc... Love this sub in being grounded most of the time, but Poe's law be damned.

Seriously man. Just put automated doors and they will open THEMSELVES for anyone coming to the door.

fogoticus · 2020-10-04T07:38:24+00:00

Guys.... this person is hardcore trolling. I found her quite a while back and did join her discord actually. And, apart from the fact that the discord is a mess (mods spamming extremely stupid stuff), she has some very stupid forced views on life and everything regarding women.

Her discord server is literally called "Feminists Against Trolls" which is "fat" for short (no actual feminist would ever agree to having her server be called "fat" as a shortcut, let's be honest). And some of the stuff posted is just outright bullshit made to trigger you. Like... if you're white, you should give your dog away because you're empowering slavery etc.

She also buried a piece of meat at random saying it will save the soul of that animal. Like... the amount of bullshit going on is just.

OxheadGreg123 · 2020-10-04T08:37:39+00:00

Idk bout u guys, but if that what they want, lets give it to them. Nothing will change anw.

furry8 · 2020-10-04T09:18:06+00:00

This act of good will is very easy to destroy.

But will take generations (if ever) to come back.

This is the same way with all critical gender theory - its very easy to tear stuff down. But these people are not capable of building anything to replace it.

Dr_Papernipples · 2020-10-04T09:51:50+00:00

Man the struggles of women are too much.

USERNAMEofTHEmeta · 2020-10-04T11:13:50+00:00

that account us a work of fiction

MingSushi · 2020-10-04T12:02:26+00:00

Okay this must be a city people thing because my family is southern and I live in a small town, it’s very normal and polite to hold the door open, it’s called common curtesy

jeff_the_nurse · 2020-10-04T12:25:57+00:00

So...is she saying that buckling a toddler and leashing a dog are bad because it’s saying that they can’t do it themselves? I’ve never seen a dog able to leash itself lmao.

Platinum247365 · 2020-10-04T13:29:48+00:00

Damned if you do and damned if you don't.

snaileatscucumber · 2020-10-04T14:49:23+00:00

It’s fucking satire you incel buffoons

The entire account is

Rexibuuoi · 2020-10-04T19:20:56+00:00

Maybe we have to compare women to weaker than a dog because a dog can go out at night without being scared. If women are so strong then how come they can’t walk two steps out of their front door without whining

Holy_Bugles · 2020-10-04T21:34:18+00:00

Are they saying that they believe a Dog can put a leash around it's own neck, and a toddler can put their own seat belt on? Or am I reading it backwards and they mean that women are able to do those tasks as well?

PeopleRtheproblem · 2020-10-04T23:14:57+00:00

Hold doors for everyone

isthissubreddittaken · 2020-10-05T07:28:58+00:00

I don't care if you are a man, a woman, a boy, a girl, a dog, a cat, or even a turtle. That. Door. Shall. Be. Opened. By. Me.

benderXX · 2020-10-05T13:04:27+00:00

Only hold open financial doors.

TheSkyElf · 2020-10-03T22:13:42+00:00

The whole "holding the door open" thing is a tricky one, and not because of the reason this person wrote about. It isn't oppressive at all to be nice, but some strange messages by being polite can occur.

Some areas of a big city can make it so that holding the door open and you thanking them equals to "Hey I am single" or "hey feel free to stare at me for 5 minutes or stay VERY close", while other places it is just common courtesy like "oh thank you-thank you too". And then there is the place where those two just mesh together and you don't know what to expect when you need help with a door or you want to help someone by holding the door open.

In the part of a big city I live in both genders just seem to meet creepy people when being polite or getting help. I just hold the door open for everyone when my mind isn't on autopilot.

-from a female who is in awe at the audacity this person on the post had, because door holding is just being nice.

kanray86 · 2020-10-04T00:51:31+00:00

these are all satirical tweets by the way

Alarming-Cup-3898 · 2020-10-04T07:25:50+00:00

Unfortunately I think looks have more to do with it than we want to admit. My own observation

HesperianDragon · 2020-10-03T18:35:15+00:00

I now only hold doors open for groups not individuals anymore.

The family of five with the mom holding the baby and the dad yelling after the kids, sure. They are usually smiley and grateful, and don't read motives into me being nice.

The single guy or girl, nope. I don't want you to armchair psychologist diagnosis me and scowl and whatever motives your projecting onto me.

qizhNotch · 2020-10-04T00:59:22+00:00

Usually if I hold a door open they just kick me back and strike me once then walk away.

RepulsiveCockroach7 · 2020-10-04T01:37:39+00:00

Noooo!! Please let me do nice things for you!! I'll do anything
