Well I understand that a lot of women don't want to be treated like they are handicapped.
But that's not why you do it, women don't want to be treated like they are special but what's wrong with thinking that they are? It's not treating women as inferiors, but rather as people who are worthy of respect. What's wrong with encouraging men to be polite to women? Most men are not very polite so why be offended that someone actually has some damn manners? It's such a rarity these days.
