chivalry vs feminism

To be honest it would all depend on my work colleagues rather then their gender. 



I want to make a question more interesting:

1 woman
1 straight guy
1 gay guy

1 man
1 straight woman
1 lesbian


2 rooms- 1 twin 1 single = who gets a single one?

such an easy one- in problem one the woman stays with the straight guy pretending to be the gay guy to make her feel safe and problem 2 is a bit tricky but I would say straight girl stays with lesbain girl while straight bloke sits and watches while magicing the coffee beans. Alternatively bloke stays with Lesbian and tries for a conversation.
could we not just put the 2 groups together and assume the bloke in the second problem is also gay (you never said he wasnt). Pair off the gay guys and that would leave me with 2 straight women and a lesbian, throw in some alcohol and a few toys and now we partying.

whoever pulls before bedtime gets the single room.

standard practise.

next question plz

[ariston]

and if 2 pull they have the twin room and swap at half time (again standard practice)

Did Alan Sugar organise this whole thing as a test?
If so, I'll use my initiative and get a third room in another hotel nearby.
If not, I'm not going on the trip anyway.

Sexual orientation shouldn't make a difference IMO, and indeed the first post didn't specify the sexual orientation of the people involved.  I would still say in case 1 the two guys share, in case two the two women share.

I'd never be offended by someone being chivalrous - as someone said, it's just good manners.  Where it might start to grate a bit was if it was being done in a patronising way.  For example, I work with a guy who is, to put it bluntly, sexist.  At a supposedly joint presentation we did a few months ago to some external stakeholders he introduced me as his 'glamorous assistant' and proceeded to dominate the whole meeting.  If he had held the door open for me on the way out with a 'ladies first', that would have got my goat.

forget what I just said - Ariston's suggestion is much better!

The blokes have to share, it's not chivarly, it's just.....it's just how it works dammit.

Those men who think it should be a roshambo job (if there are any) are probably also the type who think that their exclusion from going into the ladies toilets is sexual discrimination.
