Thoughts on Chivalry

Since I'm too tired to write tonight,
I thought I'd pose a question
that remains unanswered in my pea sized brain ...


In the case of turn style doors:

Is it chivalrous for a man to offer to go in front (and push)
or to let the lady go first?

My fear is always that the man will offer for me to go first,
and then he'll push too hard and I'll trip
and get stuck in that pie shaped fishbowl.

Note: this has never happened, but I often fear it will!

I have lost sleep over this...if I let her go first, she essentially is forced to do the work of pushing the door...if I go first, I look like a jerk for not letting her go first. Such a quandary.
