It's common courtesy to hold a door open for someone. If you think that's sexist just because someone does it for the opposite sex, then you have problems.

No, it's polite. Anybody who sees another person going for a door should hold it? It's just polite. Even more so when you see someone carrying loads of stuff, open the door for them. If a guy jumps ahead of me to purposely hold the door for me, I just think it's nice of him? I don't get offended by it or anything, although it's silly sometimes when they go out of their way, but then I jut consider it "flirty" or something. So yeah.
I hold doors for men, that doesn't make me sexist. It's just the polite thing to do.
I guess if he felt the need to do it just because she was a woman, that would be sexist/misogynistic.
Manners =/= sexism.

IF YOU'RE WALKING THROUGH A DOOR AND SOMEONE IS ABOUT TO GO THROUGH, HOLD THE DAMN DOOR. WHETHER THEY'RE A WOMAN, MAN OR LLAMA.

I open doors for people all the time, I don't even think of it, I just do it.
and I'm a female
but that doesn't matter, its just the polite thing to do.

Yeah, you were expecting lefties to warp common curtesy into something sexist. You're way to prejudiced. Glad it blew up in your face tbh.

lmao no obviously not
the bad thing about it is the gender roles (that are based on Rly Bad ideas .. like that women are fragile n need to get helped w everything.)
Not in every situation, but if he's holding a door for a woman simply because he's a man and she's a woman, like he wouldn't hold the door open like that for another man, then I think that's really suspicious.
However though, I just think that if you are opening the door and there is someone close behind you, it's polite to hold the door for the person behind you, regardless of gender. As long as gender isn't the motivating factor, it's probably fine.
