Reference

Those in a position to grant privileges are also in a position to change their minds and take them away. This is the dimension to which some women respond when they protest gallant gestures as "chauvinist." Those who appreciate such gestures as "polite" see only the connection: He's being nice. And it is also the dimension the man performing the generous gesture is likely to see, and the reason he may be understandably incensed if his polite gesture sparks protest rather than: thanks.

Taka What does 'it' in bold refer to? Nothing obvious; that's for sure! I would say that it refers to the unstated "the dimension seen by" those who appreciate such gestures as "polite".
