NO, says Chung Hosanna
Even in heels, I tend to walk ahead of my companions. Chances are I’ll reach the door first, even before a tall man whose stride far exceeds mine.
Does decorum dictate that I should slow my trot down before reaching entrances? Or should I wait meekly beside the door handle – my hand inches away – just so a man can “do the polite thing”?
Nonsense. Whoever reaches the door first should open it for the person behind. It’s common sense!
