don’t open the door because you’re incapable. My mother…
““don’t open the door because you’re incapable. My mother told me you open the door for a woman because she deserves to make an entrance. I don’t walk closest to the traffic because I’m afraid you’ll swoon or get so distracted you’ll walk into the street. I do it because God forbid a car loses control, I’d want you to be safe. None of this is a reflection on your competence; it’s a testament to your worth. I believe women deserve to be treated special, because they are. I can’t put into words what the women in my life have done to shape me. I think that alone makes you all worth a little more.””
