Going back a few years, I was taught whenever a lady entered a room -- whether their were seats or not -- a gentleman would stand. Simply out of respect.
There are a lot of other things that have gone by the wayside as well.
But it's not all our fault (speaking for the men). When you've been taken to task as being sexist for opening a door, or car door, or walking on the streetside on a sidewalk, or whatever, you tend to stop doing those things.
