In fact I think, in most cases, we do "connect on a basic level" more often than not....but the radical, hyper-sensitive outliers -- who thrive on microaggressions, 'hurt feelings' and invisible slights -- are much louder.
We may open a door for a woman 100 times in a row...and 99 times we'll be thanked....but post-radical-feminism, that 100th time we'll be berated. The question, of course, becomes: what do we do on the 101st occasion? A reasonable man still opens the door.
