Yeah, it was drilled into me by my mother and grandmother at a young age, but especially for women, to the point that a man should go out of his way to get to the door first. This pissed off my first (straw-feminist) girlfriend to the point that it got drilled out of my head, and has led to irritation when attractive female friends fawn over my excessively chivalrous friend.

And kids these days piss me off (Although it's hilarious to argue with a 19 year old bagger who gets mad and wants to fight for demolishing his arguments. Even funnier when he wants to fight the econ teacher for telling him that his political movement makes no economic sense.)

I actually am amongst the youngest students in my class (more due to the fact that a good number are 30 and older who've decided it's time to say fuck it to the grind), but even the young students in my classes... most of them are in committed relationships.

which part? the straw-feminists getting pissy about it (didn't work) or the attractive female friends fawning over chivalrous friends?
I am"chivalrous" to everyone. It's been all but beaten out of me to some extent, but I hold the door at the very least.

Feminists will get pissy when you do things via gender. If someone misinterprets your actions, why are you getting pissy back? You lose the high ground and make it sound like you're being disingenuous.

No Crissa, stop pretending that all feminists are rational sane people.
Lots of feminists will get all pissy if you hold the door for them even if you also hold the door for everyone.

yeah, I explained the whole "chivalry to everyone" thing several times, it still pissed her off.

How am I supposed to prove or disprove 'lots of feminists'? You'll just argue some straw-group about what is and isn't a feminist.

Crissa, stop being stupid. Prak says he's nice to everyone, until this one girl got upset about him doing it for her, even though he did it for everyone.
You turned around and told him that he should have been doing it to everyone, even though he already goddam said he did you retarded fuckwit.
So then you want to what... defend all feminists against the claim that some of them are irrational fuckball retards who get pissed off about shit that doesn't matter?
Why would you want to defend that? When someone says "Not all atheists are rational people, some of them X" (Where X is a stupid behavior of any kind.) I say, "Damn straight, like 80% of them are retards." Because I don't have an irrational need to defend the set of all people who claim to act under the name Xist, where X is something I like.
I didn't make this board inhospitable to anyone but you in this thread, and that's only because you find people calling you on your bullshit inhospitable.
But sure, I'll argue about some straw man group of what constitutes feminists, like for example, everyone who identifies as a feminist is a feminist, even if you Crissa, the queen of all feminists and the only true arbiter of feminism, don't like them.
So yes, when irrational people get upset about me holding a door for them, either without evidence that I only do it for women, or with actual evidence that I just fucking held the door open for the guy who walked through the door right in front of them, and complain about how it's "sexist," yes, those people are feminists too.
They are stupid feminists, but they are also feminists.
So yes Crissa, get over yourself. You are not the arbiter of who is or isn't a feminist, you don't get to no True Scotsman out all the Separatist Feminists, and Difference Feminists just because you don't like them.
Most people are stupid. Most feminists are people. As a general suggestion, it might be time for you to accept the possibility that feminists are not actually that much better than anyone else who supports an ideology, good or bad, because all ideologies get filled up with stupid people in like 6 seconds.

The problem is that the woman who gets pissy at you for holding the door open is probably pissy because you just did it. She has no way of knowing whether or not you hold the door open for everyone - she's judging based on a sample size of one. And because gender's the lens through which she views the world, you are obviously holding the door open because she's female, not because she's blond, tall, hot, human, behind you, has her arms full, etc, etc.
There is obviously only one proper comeback for people like that: "Sorry. I used to be a doorman."
My son makes me laugh. Maybe he'll make you laugh, too.

Again, Kaelik has a point. Most people regardless of any other factors are neither rational nor sane. I don't expect feminists to be any different from anyone else.

That's a good point Count, but of course, Maj and Kaelik are using the strawfeminist argument, asserting that all are these horrible people from their tiny sample.
It's more likely people are pissed off because they're pissy, not because they're feminists or whatever. Kaelik and Maj are just making excuses that select their particular 'badguy'.

No, Crissa. I did not say they are pissy or irrational because they are feminists. I said that lots of feminists are irrational. And I sure as hell didn't claim that all feminists are horrible based on the ones that are irrational and insane. So get over your damn persecution complex.
The fact that you are stupid and have to live in your head where you can pretend that anyone who is a "feminist" can automatically do no wrong is your own damn problem.
I am not arguing that lots of feminists are irrational people "based on my tiny sample" I am arguing based on the fact that 80% of all people are retarded, and there is no compelling reason to believe that only the 20% every identify as feminists. The fact that my not tiny sample seems to comport with about an 80% retard rate seems to indicate that the subset of people who are feminists is proportioned about the same as general people with respect to stupidity.

You do realize that literally everything in the universe is social commentary. The whole Shadowrun/CGL thread is social commentary. When Crissa makes little asides is social commentary, and when a bunch of people talk about childhood bullying, that's also social commentary.
Hell, even Video Games is social commentary. Every time you post in this sub forum is social commentary.

I hold doors for anyone. Never had anyone get pissy at me.
I did know one guy who had cystic fibrosis (we both played Living Greyhawk, he has since passed tho) and he'd often get pissed at people holding the door for him and would say in a nasty tone "I can get it myself!" I presume he didn't like people treating him like an invalid.
He never got nasty with me for holding the door though, again I am presuming, but probably because he saw me doing it for anyone.

With all respect due, I'm just not seeing that. Kaelik is slightly unpleasant to everyone regardless of anything, while you seem to be harder on Maj than other people.

anyway... back on topic
I rented Punisher War Zone.
...who the fuck replaced Frank Castle with Jigsaw (from Saw) and trained him like batman?
Who the fuck decided to use some no name from a very niche Punisher series, instead of at least someone that people who read other marvel comics would know, like Tombstone?
what the fuck?
Edit: oh, and why the fuck am I watching fucking Dennis Nedry/Newman in a serious movie?

It was better than the first Punisher movie they tried.
He jumps like a damned dragoon, and charges into battle fighting rather insane monsters with little more than his bare hands and rather nasty spell effects conjured up solely through knowledge and the local plantlife. He unerringly knows where his goal lies, he breathes underwater and is untroubled by space travel, seems to have no limits to his actual endurance and favors killing his enemies by driving both boots square into their skull. His agility is unmatched, and his strength legendary, able to fling about a turtle shell big enough to contain a man with enough force to barrel down a near endless path of unfortunates.
