Holding a door open for anyone is good manners, regardless of whether they are a man or a woman. The analogy just doesn't fit with the changing room scenario in my opinion. I think the main reason for separate changing rooms for men and women is likely rooted in tradition rather than ogling. Really, if people care so much about other people (of any gender) seeing their privates, they should use a changing booth, or put a towel around them whilst they change.
Also, I'm pretty sure anyone with half a brain cell could spot the context in which the words "watch my back" were said.
Seriously, as a straight guy, I can tell you that no straight guy is going to hear the phrase "yer can shove that up yer arse" coming from a gay guy and think he means anything other than the colloquial meaning.
I know it sounds silly but I'm actually quite reassured reading through this, thanks Tiberius, does pretty much prove I am overthinking this.
