And who made you the forum police?
I am not the forum police and have never claimed to be.  I simply expressed my opinion that I don't understand how this topic fits the criteria listed for using the anonymous forum.  Also, again my personal opinion but I know it is shared by some here, except for some delicate topics one should have the courage of their convictions and express them forthright without worrying about what others may think.

I used to stand aside and let my wife go first to the communion rail out of chivalry, ladies first, open the door for her sort of thing.  I no longer do.  I now lead her to the communion rail.  

A while back after giving it some thought, I noticed the priest always gives communion to the husband first at a Nuptial Mass.  I've never asked why that is, but that is reason enough for me to have made the change. 

God Bless

Frequently, I see that when husbands are closer to the aisle than their wives, they step back and let their wives go first when it's time to enqueue to receive Communion. Why? To keep an eye on them, or feminism (letting wives be the head/leader of the family, drive the car, etc.)?
I've read so many crazy things on this site.

Yeah, no kidding! So now simple etiquette, with it's roots in Christian Chivalry, is promoting feminism? Good grief. By that logic, since altar boys precede the Priest when he is making his way to the altar to commence the Mass, the Church Herself must be promoting some kind of ageism! I hope it doesn't go to those boy's heads! /s

Possibly just so that they're sitting in the same places when they return to their seats.
