Are we to assume that your feeling is that between two complete strangers you feel the woman is less able to tolerate the discomfort of standing on a bus? Or that the man is less deserving of a comfortable ride?We go to wdw 2x a year. I rarely see men stand up and offer a woman their seat on the bus. Is it just me or are men lacking manners. My father would have slapped me to the other side of the bus if I would have not given a lady or child a seat on the bus.
I'm happy to shift or stand to keep a couple together or a family together whether that means giving my seat up to a woman or man. If I see someone in obvious distress I'm glad to offer the comfort of my seat, again regardless of gender. Likewise, if someone, man or woman, makes a request for a seat. That is a charitable grace I am all to willing to extend.
What I would never do is presume upon the desires of people I do not know. I would never assume that a woman has more to gain from gaining a seat than a man has to lose by losing it. And I would never suppose myself morally entitled to impugn the actions of people who's situation in this matter I am oblivious to like a coxcomb in a henhouse. I was raised better.
