In the wake of recent events
Going out with women.
It's expected for the man to show some gentleman's gestures, and for me it's rather normal - it's the way I've been raised to work things out with dates, and it's the way it usually works best. Do I get branded as a chauv (admitted, if chauvinism is what "radical feminism" isn't, then, I'm definately a chauv no questions there) if I open doors, pay the bill, and walk the lady home?
I'd assume I'd get, but on the other hand none of the the (few of them) women I've been out with so far have complained about it, even though it's definately chauvinism. (and the popular opinion seems to be that when it comes down to being a gentleman and nice to women it's actually expected that men behave chauvinistic).
