Would the OP also complain about me asking an old lady if she wants my seat on the subway or holding the door at the grocery store? I mean the whole equality thing and all....

How do your parents rationalize the double standard? What do they say?

They probably didn't want the unmarried sibling(s) hearing the sounds of sex. I assume mom cut dad off ages ago too.
