Do you open office doors? Do you open car doors? Do you get a cup of coffee for your opposite gender co-workers? Do you ever buy flowers for co-workers birthdays? Do you say things like, You look nice today?

I make no effort to differentiate between men, women or intersex persons. I hold open doors for anyone; I buy flowers for no one; my coworkers' appearance is only accountable to AR 670-1.

Well that will keep you out of court..haha but also a boring approach. I'm not so sure we have to be completely emotionless... Holding open a door or saying "yes mam" or "yes sir" are still ok even in the civilian markets.

Sue me for growing up the old fashioned way, but a woman is still a woman and chivalry is not dead. I've never gone the route of complimenting a female co-worker's appearance or specifically buying a gift above and beyond an office gift from everyone, but holding a door open, getting coffee, getting something at the printer if I'm up I'd do those for anyone.
