some countries are different from others. I personally try not to see Sex colour of skin or anything like that I do my Best to treat everyone equal. Now that being said there is a different side to this coin. I have opened doors for woman and have had that look like i was being a chauvinist when All I was doing was opening a door, hell I open doors for most people I see just because that is the way I was raised . I have been attacked by a larger woman just because I was a male doing my Job as security evicting her Boyfriend whom was extremely drink and when I defended myself by grabbing her arms to stop her from Punching me more then walked her off the property she also called me a chauvinist.

I was attracted to a woman and mentioned how nice she looked in a normal tone she gave me a dirty look like I was doing something wrong. I backed off.

society right now at least in Canada is really mixed up .
In Canada if a male looks at a woman and she thinks that it is wrong that can be considered sexual harassment.
I Let my female Security guards make arrests and I stand there for support so not to get in there way allot of times the people in the crowd I am keeping back sometimes yell She is a woman she needs help most of those people that are yelling are women them . even though my Guard had the situation fully under control.

again it has allot to do with Culture and Age, maybe even religious belief as to the equality of the Sexes .
