No, we're not.  I once met a woman who steadfastly refused to walk through
any door held open for her.  Considered it demeaning.  Personally, I was
brought up to hold doors for everybody.  Some men get a bit disconcerted by
this, and wave me through.  I just stand there and say, "I'm the one with
the door. Get in there!"
