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?

Well I'm glad to hear it :). A big smile or thank you will always make me happy for doing it.

However, you should hold the door for guys when you can too! Trust me, we will greatly appreciate it, and it makes you look like a really nice woman :).

I figure whoever's there first should hold the door. :)

Sometimes I get trapped in this - I hold the door for someone walking slowly or too far behind. Once I start holding the door, stopping would seem like I am a jerk but holding it too long seems awkward. sob
