A few days ago I was waiting for the metro. There was this woman next to me on the platform, late 20s early 30s. When the tube arrives, we both enter it through different sets of door, and both go to the bit between the door where the seats are. There was only 1 seat free. Being a man, I was obviously quicker than her in getting there, because men are genetically superior, it's a well known fact, I'd ask you to read up on it but can women read? Probably not.
Anyway, long story short, when I arrive at the spare seat a whole second before her, I ask her "Do you wanna seat down?", out of genuine politeness. Being a man, I'm quite fit naturally so I really don't mind standing up for a few stops. She looks at me and says "Are you being sexist?" I have to say it really took me aback as the usual response to this question "Yes, if you dont mind, what what what old chap?".
I wasn't sure what to say or do, so I kinda looked down slightly embarrassed and said "no...". I sat down on the seat, and felt a bit guilty.
Was I being sexist in offering her that seat? If I was, was it wrong nonetheless?
I thought about it, and I guess I should've replied something along the lines of "I wasn't being sexist, I was just being polite you stupid bitch" but I wasn't quick enough.

So next time you think of the expression "In touch with his feminine side", go fUck yourself.

This is not untrue, and kudos to you for being the sort of sensitive bloke who can open up and cry in to a pillow at night without shame.
Listen, you may not have a va jay-jay and you may not like the prospect of a good batty crease tickle by an overgrown crumb catcher, but exhibiting your feminine side will definitely result in the suspension, or outright revocation, of your man-card. Man law violations are serious business, and your attention to the behavior required to maintain your card in good standing had best be vigilant.

You should have sat down directly and accidentally stuck your hand in her skirt once the train filled up a bit.

Of course not!
I simply pouted, raised my right eyebrow, and held my crotch.

Red, that girl was a bitch. You were showing genuine courtesy. She had a flaming double F bra stuck up her ***. I would have applauded you if you had made some completely unPC comment to her after that retort. There's a difference between being sexist and showing courtesy. Obviously the dumb broad doesn't get the difference. Most of us females get it

No, you were being polite. Would you have offered it to a man, though?
Next time you do something nice for a woman and she says something like that, look her right in the eye and say, "Samira says you're an ignorant twatwaffle and to stop setting women back by being rude without cause."
Then let her spend the rest of the day wondering who Samira is, or if she knows a Samira, why she'd say something like that.
In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
Let's be fair on this woman, this happened in the tube. Normal social niceties do not apply in there. Anyone being nice to you in the tube is deeply suspicious; if they're not trying to get into your pants they're probably a terrorist. Also note that, as this happened in the tube, if she didn't elbow Red in the kidneys and stamp on his foot it was a relatively polite response.
Since I have a cane, I always get a seat. Mua-hahahahahahahahahahaha.

Well that's the thing. When I was sitting down after the incident, I was asking my self that question, and the honest answer is "probably not". So yes, I suppose my actions were based on gender. But is that "sexism"? Doesn't sexism need to have some negative connotation?

That is the point at which feminists divide from radical feminists. That is as good a dividing line as any.
In my opinion, the only battles worth fighting are the ones with actual, measurable negative consequences. Equal pay, equal access, reproductive rights, etc. There's enough work to be done on those to keep me busy without picking stupid arguments with people who are just trying to be polite.
A more radical feminist would

In a conversation over lunch today, a colleague started to quote from a poem. It was one I happen to like, and (because I'm a dirty show-off), I completed the stanza.
At that point, someone commented, "I didn't think you'd be the sort of bloke who memorises poems", and another said "He must be in touch with his feminine side".
The fUck??
So do women have a monopoly on appreciating poetry, pleasant smells, a cool-looking outfit?
I want to go on record that if (as I believe) it's inappropriate to generalise about womens' driving skills, ability to read maps or appreciate the rules of sports, it's bloody offensive to assume that by appreciating art & beauty, I must have some non-masculine characteristics. As a man, I'm perfectly capable of enjoying the finer things in life without having a ****** or wanting to put bits of myself into other men.

All better now. Nurse!

I'm such a moderate feminist at heart.

Following MoebiusLord's erudite guidance, I have tracked down the passenger involved in Red's seat dispute, fUcked her, punched her in the face, beaten her husband at poker, and taught her kids the fundamentals of kick-boxing and plots of all the Lethal Weapon movies (except LW4, obviously).
I hereby formally apply for the reinstatementof my man-card, and promise to only listen to late '70s hard rock and watch movies with bombs and nekkid wimminz.

As I said in another thread, recently, if you can figure out how to open wide enough to keep the chompers of the man meat, I'm ok with it.
I think the bigger question here is why someone thinking you're in touch with your feminine side is insulting to you? Are you hiding something like varus was with his homosexuality?
Who gives a fuck if some unsophisticated mouth breather thinks you're in touch with your femimine side? He's not the one actually enjoying the better parts of life, is he?
