open door policy

i just realized that my boss won't close his door when we have meetings because i have a vagina.

generally, he has a rule that he closes his door when he has a regular one on one meeting with one of his direct reportees. he won't answer his phone, either. to his credit, he is a very dedicated and very intentional man. but we were talking in his office and people kept interrupting us, as they usually do, and someone said, 'sorry to interrupt! but your door was open, i guess.' to which he said, 'well............ we don't need it closed.' and i just realized all of the sudden that his policy is different with me than with all of our male colleagues.

this can really be for only three reasons:

1 - he doesn't trust himself to not do something sketchy, or what he perceives as sketchy, which i guess fits in nicely with the mormon boy opposite sex relationship phobia.

2 - he thinks i will try something.

3 - he wants to avoid the appearance of evil, which is a crock. maybe he thinks he's protecting me.

mostly, all three reasons creep me out. and it's pretty sexist and kind of unprofessional.
