Guys, do you automatically give up your seat when a woman is present and there are no other seats?

[Anonymous]

Yes I do

No I don't

See results

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Yes , i would give my seat up to a Woman. I'll share a story with you
i was at my former doctors office and this elderly Woman came in
and not one person would give their seat up. So i got up and said Ma'am
you can have my seat and my doctor thanked me. He proceeded to tell me
that when that Woman was younger , she wasn't vaccinated for polio and
she caught polio and back in the day they didn't do much but she had
braces on her legs but she did pretty good getting around. So i can't
believe the Men on here won't give their seat up to a Woman.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Thanks for most helpful guy :)

[David92506]

I do that because my parents taught me how to be a gentleman. I also open car doors and other doors for women. I help take off their coat before they sit down at the restaurant table. I also pull the chair out for them. I tend to be quiet and just listen to them.

[startingfitness]

im sure there are more ways to simp. why stop there?

[Iminahurrythough]

Where I come from it's considered impolite if you don't give up your seat to elderly people, pregnant women or anyone with a disability or a disease.
Anything more than that is just considered chivalry or whatever. Which isn't really a must.
I'd give up my seat for anyone who is struggling to stand or has a valid reason to need to sit down. Other than that, most times I don't really get up. I don't think men need to do so just for women because they're women. If they want to, cool, if they don't, also cool.

[akihon]

No simply because women are equals, they now have no greater value than men do so unfortunately chivalry died the day equality was granted, not being special means women are like everyone else and have neither the right nor have the ability to expect or assume that a seat will be given up for them. They need to understand that they wanted the world to change and change it did, it's taking men some time to catch up to this but from the replies and votes I can see that men are finally starting to understand what equality means and now it just means that women have to accept they are getting exactly what they have been asking for

[JimmyQ]

I answered no, but with me as well as I'm certain with other men, there is a process I go through in making a decision. Often times when a woman looks tired or is older it is an automatic yes, but if she is younger and looks to have game I think twice. If there is no eye contact, then I have to assume she isn't interested and is just fine with standing. But if she's got a lot of bags and stuff, then I'll initiate an offer. A simple yes is good and I'm happy to give her my seat. If she's not interested then I'll stay where I am.

[nelly83]

I live in nyc and men do not really give up their seat for women. But if there is an empty seat, they will ask women around them if she needs to sit before he sits. Men tend to let women sit first especially if she's carrying heavy bags. Sometimes, I notice that when I get off the train, the men will wait for women to step off first ahead of them first. Men will also make sure to let me enter the train ahead of them when the train doors are closing. I think its the male protective instrinct.

And ladies: please be the better person and do not take the seat even if he offers it to you. Let him rest his feet , if he needs to.

[Chase7777]

That doesn't happen where I live at all. I find it quite hilarious. Would never do something like this.

[Exterminatore]

Not unless the woman present is my wife, step daughter, a family member or friend.

All other women can suck it up. In fact come to think of it I intentionally do as little as I can to help women. They have enough privilege in western society and they are supposedly equal to men so they can stand just like a man with no seat also.

[Kendyrocks]

i dont thi k tgat women have more privikige than men. but there are feminists who want to give women more privilege. like political lesbians. i think men and women should be equal.

[Exterminatore]

Ok. Tell you what. I’ll have an open and honest conversation with you. I’ll even can my usual sarcasm and insults and speak respectfully in the hopes I can change you mind.

First of all, women, all women regardless of color receive preferential hiring treatment in the U. S. - affirmative action. They are treated as a minority. For simply being born female. That alone is having privilege. Additionally they are not currently eligible to be drafted for war. I’m a former Marine. I deployed 2x and took part in 2 separate campaigns. Until recently I’d have said I don’t want a female in a fighting hole with me. Now I say end female privilege and draft them just like the men. If they want and claim there are such huge inequities, fine. Let’s start there in making things equal. Only a woman can accuse a Supreme Court nominee of sexual misconduct, then reply “Because I’m a woman” when asked why she should be believed. That answer being what she said speaks of privilege and entitlement. Then there’s alimony which is overwhelmingly received by women. Why does a man need to pay for his ex wife when he no longer has sex with her or receives any benefit from her? In 2020? Where women get preferential hiring treatment? Maybe women should support themselves in all such situations as getting jobs for them is easier than for ALL men. These are just some privileges women receive that men don’t. I could go on forever. Would you like me to? Is that required to prove my point?

Men and women cannot be equal. We’re not the same. 2 and 5 are not equal. Know why? They’re not the same. 2 and 2 are equal, they’re the same. I am firmly against women having more rights and privileges than men, and I am in fact against them having equal ones to men’s. In 1919 they got the right to vote. Since then they have run for office, been elected as judges, passed legislation that favors women over men, and not what’s best for the country nor even for both genders. This continues to this day.

[Exterminatore]

Also, the feminists have already given women more privilege then men. They just want more than they already have.

Women’s lib or women’s liberation as feminism is often synonymous with. Liberation from what? The rule of men of course. They want the ability to have political sway, money and anything else that will enable them to not have to rely on a man. That’s all well and good but they don’t want the responsibility that comes with such things or a level playing field or to earn it themselves on their own merits. No they want hand outs and freebies and to take from men to give to them to achieve what they want. So I say no more free rides for women. They want to be independent then let them be fully so. Don’t ask a man for one damn thing or expect anything. They want equality, fine, let’s talk about that draft... you know... the responsibilities that come with equality.

[Kendyrocks]

why can't women have same rights as men?

[Exterminatore]

First of all we’re not the same. We were created by God differently for different purposes.

For what it’s worth I’d also say men should not have certain rights and privileges women should have. For example being a househusband. Mans job is to provide. That a privilege women should have. To be provided for in a marriage. Mans love for woman is based on sacrifice. Man should never have the privilege of expecting that, likewise women should know their place and role accordingly, that is running they house, and caring for their family. Not trying to have a career and be in combat in the military and try to act like a man.

[Exterminatore]

They also shouldn’t because it’s clear they seek to rule over men, and that is against the natural order created by God. First came the right to vote which also came with it the right to hold political office. Now we have a society that is geared towards the benefit of women at the expense of men. So, to ensure that does not happen anymore they should not have the same rights, but laws should be put in place to firmly protect them from any would be tryant men and violators should be firmly punished.

[Kendyrocks]

why can't women go to the militäry. what if the women is really smart and she wants to be a scientist.

[Kendyrocks]

i dont seek to rule over men

[Exterminatore]

Scientist is fine. If they have the brains for it, then go for it.

They are not designed for combat. They simply cannot do those types of things well do to major differences in biology.

[Kendyrocks]

i see

[Exterminatore]

Maybe you don’t, certainly feminists do. Not just the radical ones, but all of them. It’s clear if you examine the laws they have helped create from 1919 until now.

[Kendyrocks]

the first feminist didn't wanted to be obressed by men and wanted to have a say.

[Exterminatore]

Of course the wanted a say... a say to make things just like they are now. Receiving affirmative action and not being drafted and lower physical fitness requirements in the military and police and fire department then men and the list goes on and on. So yeah, they wanted the say, and I say to those first feminists “never mind your say, take care of your family and run your house.”

Sure they wanted a say... see... once they’re considered equal then they have grounds to advance themselves by any means necessary. See how thar works? Do you have children? If so grant your children the right to have a say and in no time they will override your authority in all situations. Why? You gave them a say. They can call shots now, no matter it something is prudent or good or wise... they now have a say and will execute their agendas.

[Kendyrocks]

so you want to say women should be obidient? should men be obidient too. or can they do what every they want.

[Exterminatore]

Obedient to their husbands, yes. Not to all men and obedient when what the husband asks is legal and doesn’t violate conscience and scripture.

Likewise husbands must love and care for their wives whole heartedly and in fairness.

[Exterminatore]

Women should not and must not be obedient to all men, only to their husbands, and proper authority (police, government, boss ect) and so long as their mandates do not violate law, conscience or scripture.

Men should be obedient to the same, but not to their wives. It’s the duty of the wife to submit to the husband, and the duty of the husband to love and care for and provide for his wife.

[Screenwriter]

Some women do perform well in combat. It's a minority of women, but they shouldn't be kept out. Women do well as pilots also. I think the draft should include all able bodied men and women. In boot camp probably more women will be culled out than men. It will probably work out that the militaries will be 30-33 70/67 in boots on the ground, but other roles that aren't combat might work out to be 60 40. Women with military backgrounds will translate some of those skills into the workplace when they exit the military and go into more traditional male work, further increasing their earning potentials... In the long run, that would be all godd.

[Exterminatore]

I watched them consistently fall out of false marches and fail to qualify on the rifle range. One even neglegantly

[Exterminatore]

Discharged her rifle into the deck. I can’t say they are cut out for combat based on what I say. I was in the infantry and only saw women with us when invited to accompany us on certain occasions. They were always the EASIEST and we weren’t carrying a full combat load out and they still couldn’t hang.

[DianaWest]

why should they? if they got there first? i only give up my seat to elderly, disabled, or pregnant women and children. i mean, i am a woman too, but if i were a guy, i wouldn't just give my seat up. then you'd have an entire train where all the women would be sitting and the men would be standing. makes for a very peculiar image.

[dbr1987]

So because she has boobs and a vagina she has more rights to a chair? She has 2 legs just like A man. Would any women give their chair to you? Never. Wake up and see this from another perspective. I would if she had one leg😉

[KrakenAttackin]

No. fuck her and her one-leg.

[dbr1987]

Always would like to try that! See how it feels. Should i do it on the seat so she still has a spot

[Sensmind]

I think chivalry is dying - I don't travel on public transport that much but I believe the current shall we say guidelines is too give up seat for pregnant women, people with young kids, physically handicapped people, elderly - I think the gender expectation has gone quite a while

[Chadnelson1973]

If I'm using public transportation and there's no seat I will give up my seat for a women especially a pregnant woman !
I also give up my seat for elderly , those who are in crutches , wheelchair as those seats flip to accommodate and I give up my seat for the blind and will ask them what stop they need.
It's how I was raised but a lot of states have laws regarding this.
More importantly it's common sense and basic human desentancy.
Just do something nice for someone those of you who were boy scouts and are gentlemen I know what I'm talking about.

[5_AM_Oracle]

I've had people offer their seat for me before, It happens. And I say... no, I decline. I don't see why they would give it up. We're physically weaker, but come on girls, we are able to stand for a bit now, no?
I'd feel like a 'seat thief or parasyte' :p like men have just as much right to sit than we do. If you're too slow and miss out on a seat, deal with it. Your problem, not theirs.

Elders, pregnant women, or people with a handicap, sure give up that seat.

[Anoniemus]

The expectations of that are based on sexist gender roles and norms. They shouldn’t be expected to do that. If someone is disabled or elderly (though this is somewhat ageist, but the ones that have trouble getting around), then sure. Do disabled men need to move to let a woman have the seat?

Those notions are nice but honestly men shouldn’t be expected or demeaned for not doing them.

[Davis04]

As a women, I don’t believe in that shit!! Since it’s all about equality these days LOL. The only person I’d be giving my sit up for is if he/she was an elderly person or if it was a pregnant women or a disabled person. Apart from that, ain’t nobody getting no special treatment from me!!😌

[ChadGroyper]

Thats not the type of equality you're thinking of

[burlen]

I don't give up my seat on a public transport to a person just because they happen to be female. Last year I refused to give up my seat to a pregnant woman on the train. She skipped two empty seats and stood in front me. Was she expecting me to give up my seat for her? No chance! Women should stop using their gender to foster a false sense of entitlement.

[Battooot]

I used to do that back in my country (Syria) and when i was living in the UAE region.

But when i moved to Canada, I realized that if i keep giving my seat up to women here, then i will never be able to sit ever again in my life. There are waay tooo many women here. Like holyfuck.

[Battooot]

So i only give up my seat to those who are basically dying.

[SomeGuyCalledTom]

No its not expected to do that here in London. Elderly, pregnant or disabled I will give seat for, thats about it.

I've heard in some countries like Russia, the men give up seats for women, that old chivalry is still expected of men, and women are raised to be appreciative of the gesture. So if i travelled in russia then I'd adopt the custom to blend in more.

[AlienParasite]

I give my seat to: elderly people, pregnant women, someone who has passed out and needs to sit, someone who seems sick or people with a broken leg or crippled. I don't expect any healthy non pregnant person to give their seat to another healthy non pregnant person. If they want to it's ok, but they don't have to.

[Realistic07]

Unless there are alternative factors present at the moment then no. For example if someone was in some sort of pain, pregnant, of a particularly older age, if someone seems like they are struggling to stand in any way.

Really unless there is some legitimate and visible reason no I would not give up my seat.

[Dr_Spins]

I do especially if the woman has children with her. The only thing for me is I am unsure if this type of chivalry is accepted considering gender equality. Maybe I am the one making it more complex than it needs to be, but it's on the same level as holding a door for a woman.

[Gisellebaby]

Tbh there is no gender equality. Women will never be equal to men. We don’t get paid the same, we don’t feel same same sense of security when we’re out at night time by ourselves, we do not have the same balance of hormones in our bodies etc etc etc etc. So since there really isn’t any “equality” between the two sexes, it should be perfectly fine to give your seat up for the more superior gender.

[cth96190]

@Gisellebaby
You should stop drinking the Feminist (aka Marxist) Kool-Aid.
The gender pay gap is a lie.
Perhaps you did not get the memo, but in 1963 JFK signed into law equal pay legislation. Since that time, men and women have been paid the same for the same work (aka the same hourly rate).
Here in Australia, equal pay was mandated by legislation in 1974.
Throughout the entire Western world, equal pay is mandated by law.
The way that Feminists calculate the so-called pay gap is laughably stupid and an obvious fraud. They take all male earnings and put that in one column. Then they put all female earnings in another column, then they claim that women are paid less.
That is an obvious lie, because the calculation does not take into account differences in occupational choices and hours worked.
Men work more hours (usually to support an unappreciative bitch at home), tend to choose occupations that pay more and do not take time out of the workforce to have babies.
When the figures are adjusted for those variables, the so-called pay gap disappears.

[Gisellebaby]

@cth96190 do you also realise that a bitch gave birth to you? I’ll be completely honest with you and admit I’m not too sure about how the “gender pay gap” is calculated, but I do still stick to my original statement. How the fuck are men and women the same you fucking nutcase of a moron? We have vagina, you have penises. We lack physical strength, you have physical strength. We are the RECEIVING gender, while you’re are the GIVING gender. It’s like that during sex as well. We receive the penis. Hence, it wouldn’t be so absurd to think it’s fine for a man to GIVE his seat up for a woman?

[Gisellebaby]

And FYI I’m also from Australia

[cth96190]

@Gisellebaby
I did not say that men and women were the same.
We are physically and intellectually quite different, because men and women have been crafted for specialised roles by millions of years of evolution.
I referred to the insane counter-factual Feminist (aka Marxist) dogma that we are all the same.
Feminists demanded 'equality' and then lobbied their political enablers to use the apparatus of the state to mandate it, under penalty. Okay, I will give women equality. . . especially when it results in their suffering.
Be careful for what you wish.

[Saarr]

I would be very confused if a guy gave his seat to me. Like, do I look like I can't stand up for a few minutes?🤔😂

[tiajoka]

I don't expect any guys to, but if one did I'd be really plesently surprised and I'd appreciate it. It's a pretty gentlemanly thing to do.
Personally, I'd usually give up my seat also. If someone is pregnant, has kids, or is elderly no matter what gender. Though I also have a lot of chronic pain issues; so if I was having a particularly bad attack I might not.
