I got snarled at by a woman in Ottawa. It was at the Totem campus of my then employer. She sounded off about my thinking she was incapable of opening it herself - I kid you not. I just replied in my worst Russian and wandered off. Just as well she didn't understand what I told her!

Well I know I always appreciate it with a smile and a thank you, whether it be a man or a woman holding the door.
It's just common courtesy.
It's also common courtesy not to let a door slam in somebody's face in the first place.
