Spot on! I find it difficult to believe that no one, male or female, who was seated would not offer an obviously pregnant woman a seat. Unless of course there are things we haven't been told.....
How positively medieaval!
I have seen elderly men, who can hardly stand up, offering seats to perfectly healthy younger women for exactly this sort of outdated tosh reason.....
Worse still the damn women took them!
I have to agree, the assumption that a person is somehow less able to stand because they have a vagina is downright insulting and this old fashioned attitude needs to change even if it comes from good intentions. I have also seen elderly men struggle to their feet so female college students can sit down which is ridiculous.
It reminds me of a someone I once knew who's face was left horrifically disfigured (and lucky to be alive) after a knife attack from his then partner. He wouldn't lift a finger to defend himself because he "doesn't hit women"
