Northeastern University in Boston research teams found that guys who do nice things for women are actually just as sexist as guys who treat women terribly. Only the nice guys might be even worse, because they don't realize it. Whether you're a misogynist pig or a chivalrous gentleman... you, sir, are completely and totally sexist.

It's called 'benevolent sexism,' and it happens when you open the car door for a woman, refuse to let her pay on a date, offer her your jacket when she's cold, tell her you want to provide for her or tell her she deserves to be put on a pedestal.

Our beloved researchers also say: "It's a very paternalistic, protective view of women, and it seems kind of appealing as a sort of chivalry.  But it does contribute to inequality, because these men don't expect women to achieve high goals."

I don't agree. I expect any woman I am dating, friends with or in close proximity to, to do whatever they can to make a life worth living for themselves. Ladies... When I hold your door, pay for dinner and all that stuff, it's because I see you as important to me. When I stop doing those things... Worry.
