It's the other way around here! It was never a common practice to hold doors for people in old Japan. It's wasn't a male/female thing. It's a 'strangers are enemies,' idea of Confucian ideology. It's only the younger folks who are doing it now. Today's younger people have learned the custom from TV and movies, while the old folks let the door slam on each other.
