I just held the door for a lady who had her arms full of groceries, and then offered to help her, and then she turns around, drops her groceries, and starts lecturing me on how I'm the reason that sexism is still such a huge issue. Like, what the fuck? How am I responsible for sexism (which now applies to cereal mascots, btw) because I asked a lady if she needed help? Sure, the inherent reason I helped her was sexist, in that I helped her and offered to carry her groceries for her was because she was a woman, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't do the same for a man. On top of that, how does chivalrous behaviour qualify as sexist? Sorry that this was really ranty, but this just happened and I'm really fucking pissed off right now.
You just met a tumblrina! You should have picked up her groceries while she was lecturing you, put them on the other side of the door, and slammed it shut.
No, I wouldn't give her the satisfaction, nor would I want to take the risk of her making an even bigger scene. Instead, I just smiled at her and chuckled on my way out. I think she started to cry at that point, but I thought that the whole situation must look hilarious to everyone else.
