I think jjj has hit it on the head.
Although I would take kindness and respect any day over manners.
Kindness and respect come from the heart, and manners should flow from that. It is possible to show good manners, but at the same time show no respect. Look at the the previous posts where the supposedly well-mannered person finds that their opening a door for a woman was not appreciated.
If you show kindness and respect to everyone regardless of their gender/race etc, you can't go too far wrong.
If you are going to hold open doors for women simply because of their gender then you better be prepared for the full range of possible responses.

the fact that women have been viewed as weaker/inferior, not that they are weaker/inferior.
