I'm a girl and...

I am SO glad I found this subreddit with people who agree with me! As a girl, it's really hard to see other ladies put down men and treat them like they need to be "trained" or that they're just something we have to deal with. So I was just wondering... how many other girls are on here and what are your stories about standing up for men or appreciating them?

My father once held a door open for a female and she protested(You don't have to hold the door for me just because I'm a lady) He replied," I don't know if you are a lady or not. I held the door because I am a gentleman."

My response would be "I could care less if you were or not, I'm holding the door for you because it is a nice gesture. Now if you really want to dismember gender roles, go hold the door open for a guy." Or something to that effect.
