Always? No.

Though it is polite to hold the door for anyone who's close behind you.

No one's obligated to open a door for anyone unless it's literally the opener's job lmao.

Courtesies are not obligations.
They're courtesies, not laws. Meaning it's not a right to receive them, even when it's expected.

At the end of the 20th century it made sense for men to do such gendered courtesies towards a woman since women in general were second class citizens with considerably fewer rights. In the west today, that's no longer really the case in most aspects of modern life. Both men and women can typically open their doors just fine...

The funny thing about telling others to take the high road is how often it's hypocritical advice.
