This forum has been going down the drain since Dan joined because he can't speak English properly. Both those posts of his contained grammatical errors. Yay.

Bit harsh. He's not the only one. Also, he can speak English very well. I actually find Dan to be extremely well spoken in person. He just doesn't write fantastically, but as I said, it's not like he is the only offender in the grammar department.

Also, what irritates me greatly is that in person Dan is awesome and yet online he doesn't behave in a way that represents that... DO YOU DAN? :)

sex·ism
n.
1. Discrimination based on gender, especially discrimination against women.
2. Attitudes, conditions, or behaviors that promote stereotyping of social roles based on gender.

So once again, what you said is unquestionably sexist.

Well by definition, sure, but the term is usually used with negative connotation. I could have given a better response, especially since I should be used to the technicalities pulled here on the forums.

I can't think of a worse way to defend yourself :p

I can't really defend myself in the fact that I'm sexist by definition. I can say though that the word is usually meant in a negative manner and I am by no means a sexist in a negative way. By saying I'm old school that means I also open all the doors for all women (not just mine), I open car doors, I carry stuff inside from the car, etc.

This man is a gentleman not a sexist. He's being polite and courteous. There's quite a difference between opening the door for a girl and saying "Woman make me a sandwich! And a beer while I watch football!"

And there's a difference between opening a door for a girl and thinking that it's obligatory for men to open doors for women.
 
It's not obligatory but if I saw a guy walking with a girl and he opened the door and walked in and just held it for her after he was already through the door I'd think he was rude and a tool.

Ask any girl and I guarantee nine times out of ten that they'll prefer the door opening bag carrying gentlemen over Mr. "make me a sandwich"

Of course they would...I never said that they wouldn't. Not sure where you're getting that.
But I know that many of female friends would be slightly offended if they were told by the guy that he thought it was his duty to open doors for girls.
