No I don't believe anyone who doesn't follow the golden rule is evil. I think sometimes following the golden rule is immoral.
The Platinum Rule implies that you already know how the other person wants to be treated. I don't know the preferences of a stranger. However, I'm willing to bet 100% of people you survey will say they want to be, at the least, treated with respect by others. I know I do. So I do the same to others. Find me somebody who wants to be treated like shit and yeah, I guess the Golden Rule is out. As for the door thing... who prefers opening their own doors? When people use the term "hold the door open", do they mean holding it open behind them after they've already gone through it or do they mean opening it from the outside and waiting for the person to go through before them? Because I do the former for everyone (not just women) and I don't really do the latter (except for people who have a ton of shit in their hands and can't hold the door themselves.)
If you don't know how people wish to be treated, one of the best ways is to ask
I certainly prefer opening my own doors.
