Pac Man and Daas Yochid:
I’ll tell you what – let us make a wager – we’ll ask a Rosh Yeshiva what is the Torah way. If your way is the Torah way, it is a great sadness. I can’t begin to tell you what a Kiddush Hashem people at work make when one holds the door open for co-workers. According to your way, you could only hold the door open for male co-workers, but not for female co-workers!
Also – you failed to address my point that this Chazal only means when walking along a path – do not walk behind a woman; show me where it says that this Chazal also applies when going through a doorway. This behavior is boorish in any society. How much more so it is boorish to do this to a date or wife. I hope that the YWN editor will step in and put some true Torah perspective on this.
