I will say one exception is in the Barony of Nottinghill Coill.  
When Corun was first baron I went down as deputy to manage a
scriptorium for Baronial University, I drove into the parking
lot and started to unload.  I wasn't aloud to carry much by the
way of books although he did let me carry my own supplies.  It
was a very nice thought since I'd brought my entire library.

This sort of thing has been common in this Kingdom for the last several
years
by my observation.  If I've seen any ladies being helped, it has mainly been
the pretty young things, although there are still some lords who help ladies
in
general.
