Reply To: Ladies First – Is it respectful or not?

CA- not sure what you’re saying. Are you saying what I’ve been saying the whole time – that he can hold open the door without walking behind her and that way he can solve the problem of being both tznius and menchlich?

I think Joseph’s point is that “who says it’s more mentchlich for a man to open the door for a woman in the first place? Why shouldn’t it be the other way?”
