As the woman should I stand aside and allow him to open it or should I open it and just walk through ahead or should I (for the sake of equality) open it for him?
Genuine answers only please! I found myself in this situation once or twice and never know what to do.

Happened to me a lot when I was working. The true gent will, when you reach the door, make quite sure he gets there first and opens it for you. If he doesn't bother, assume he isn't very chivalrous and open it for him.
