Would the lady in question have written a complaint if the guard in question had not attempted to help , a refund or compensation is probably on its way .

I just hope the man in question doesn't lose his job and we move on ?

He wont lose his job. Some dick in a pair of black leather pointy shoes and a bad haircut will tell him not to do it again, then they'll all have a good laugh about it on the works night out...

Re: Train Station Worker in Swansea accused of sexism

I think this is an interesting debate. Guy who works there goes to open a door for a lady and tells her it needs "a man's touch". Woman reported him for it.

It's that old can of worms about being easily offended and the battle of the sexes. I have no doubts the guy had every best intention. Most women wouldn't have cared a bit about his comment. Does that make it ok?

I've been thinking about this. I've been told by some women that I can't do this or that properly as I'm a man, usually tasks that are more traditionally done at home by women. One example, last year I was baking something I'd never tried, it didn't work that well and was old to get advice from a woman on baking. Bollocks, of course, men make excellent cooks and bakers too. I've never seen the need for either sex to try and outdo the other, so I can see the annoyance the train station worker's comment could have caused.

For me it's a very fine line. The worker could have simply offered to open the door with no need to mention gender. I don't think it was worth reporting. People can be unintentionally offended and upset by things.

Real people would not be offended by what he said.
Her type just love to complain and make a song and dance about nothing .
We had a lad working with us who was the same he didn't last long. He even made a complaint about someone breaking wind whilst having a crap in the next toilet cubicle to him

Yes, being offended is always the fault of the person being offended....

I don’t know what’s most pathetic.

The person taking offence at such an innocuous comment.

The story making our national media.

Your acknowledgement that it's ok for a man to tell a woman that he needs to do a job she can't....

A job 😂 He merely opened a door for her and attempted to inject some humour.

So every woman should find that totally acceptable, and those who don't are bitches who need to get a life?

Who said they were bitches who need to get a life? Rather bizarre conclusion.

Glad you've said that. So women who disagree with you aren't bitches who need to get a life. We're getting somewhere. It validates their thoughts.
