I always saw that as a protective father and husband thing.
Protecting from what?

My wife and I rarely attend the same Mass on Sundays. When we do, I will usually follow her to the altar rail.
You bring up an interesting point. Did husbands and wives even sit together during Mass before Vatican II? Weren't the sexes segregated?

Maybe “protecting” the wrong wording. It just seems like something husbands naturally do to keep their wife and children separated from the people behind them. It’s just a way to mark out their family. I don’t know how else to explain it really, because I haven’t thought about it that much. But I don’t see a “ladies first” principal as problematic.

I know what you mean; it just comes instinctually.

I don't with my wife, and I'm as protective as they get. 

None of the men do at my Church.
