Would you give up your seat for a woman who is pregnant on public transport?

Sure the same for a old person or a person with a kid or someone disabled

[Staximus]

Of course

[Apple1996]

Yess ofc! It sucks to have to stand while pregnant. When I was pregnant I once passed out in public from standing so long. Thankfully a kind old man caught me before I hit the ground. So keep in mind that pregnant women might get dizzy easily and need a seat

[TonyMetal___86]

They shouldn't have let you stand for too long miss apple, a polite person will give you his/her seat asap so they provide some sort of comfort for you since you're carrying a baby, glad that this old man caught you before hitting the ground!

[OlderAndWiser]

Absolutely! And the young college men I mentor would do the same thing!

[Drumlin2001]

Yes I have done. Having had my ex miscarry, and my now fiancé have 2 kids and struggle to get around I empathise with them and will always offer my seat to someone who wants one.
I've even had it where I was in a window seat and no one was offering this lady seat, so i had to get the person in the aisle seat to let me out to give my seat to her.
I'm not so worried about the elderly or disabled/injured, but someone who's pregnant, or a parent with a very young child if I see them I would offer my seat

Yes, I would. Some days I just feel like when did we become this uncaring unfeeling society that we feel so incredibly burdened by just giving up a seat for someone who may need to rest a bit in their travels from the exhaustion of being a mom to be. No, that does not mean, you don't also deserve to rest a bit, but it is about kindness being shown towards others. I have held open so many doors and helped elderly across the street, and given those in need my own food not because I had to, but because that's what one should want to at least occasionally do for others because you never know when you may be the one who needs a bit of help and kindness and who will be there to give it to you?

[PBandJ_Nerd]

Yeah. I don't know what it's like carrying a baby inside of you, but I know it might be very tiresome and exhausting. So, it's better she gets to sit down and relax more than me. I could just find a different spot to sit somewhere once a seat becomes available.

[Lynxistp]

If she's visibly pregnant her center of gravity has changed and it's more likely she'll fall over than a not pregnant person standing as the public transport take turns and hit it's breaks... so yes, I would.

[Joshydavid25]

Not even a question.. Why would I, an fully able bodied man, sit down while a pregnant woman is standing.. Just inconsiderate at that point.. Shoo, I'll give me seat over to able bodied people too.. Especially if they are carrying anything heavy..

[A_Bell]

I don't use public transportation. People are too rude and the experience isn't worth it.

I am generally very considerate for people who need assistance as long as they aren't rude. People have helped me while pregnant but some have also bumped me while walking or a seat at a shopping area, but usually most people are considerate.

[Hawkes_Lady]

Absolutely. I would also surrender my seat to an elderly person, someone who is disabled, or has a child with them because it is the polite thing to do as I am able bodied. I know from experience how difficult it can be to keep your own balance in a moving bus and while trying to protect a child it becomes even more difficult.

[BoopBoopBeep]

I don't do busses. I do that on the metro (subway) all the time though. Twice I've actually been yelled at by a third party (female) for doing it because I was "reinforcing the patriarchy".

Last time I was like "move bitch this is my stop"

There is little I hate more than people who get offended on someone else's behalf.

She chose to get pregnant, not me 🤷🏻‍♀️

I know it sounds messed up. But we’re so overpopulated and people keep reproducing like rats. I have no sympathy for people who don’t understand the pollution they’re causing. Birth control exists. She can stand there. 🖕

[DarkLegacy]

No i would not, im done doing things for women considering their behaviour these days, they are always getting unfair special treatment and they are always being selfish and hiding behind personal choice to justify their own shitty behaviour.

Furthermore im not happy with the way disabled people are being discriminated against on public transport by pregnant women and mothers. They should go first, and in fact modern womens entire attitude towards people with disabilities sucks.

[MiddleAgedClimbee]

As the child of a mother, who worked with disabled individuals as a career, I wholeheartedly agree that they should have access/priority to all seats.
However, I would definitely give up a seat for a pregnant lady in a heartbeat. My wife was shown this kindness numerous times, and she very much appreciated it.

[rigmarole]

If I pay for a ticket, I expect a seat. I didn't sell the woman the ticket. She should take it up with the company/city that falsely advertised their product and charged her for something that wasn't delivered.

[rigmarole]

In order for women to get that sorts of courtesy at random, women in general have to behave lady like. Sadly, that isn't the culture of modern women. You have women participating in flash mob robberies of stores, running people over with cars, burning down buildings in riots, and even dudes dressing up as women. To put it lightly women have lost that privilege.

[HawkPerception]

Yes and to older folks and children as well. Until I'm old and frail, I'll always show others kindness if I'm physically able to.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

I no longer use public transport but when I did, I always gave the seat to the elderly and the pregnant.

[RoseySarah]

Yes help her out and hold her stuff for her!

If she is that pregnant I'll help or give her a wheel. chair at my hospital

[IslaTheWitch]

It's given. I don't really need to sit. If I do, it's only because I'm utterly lazy :D

[Sour-rose]

Nah, fk you. I know, but... i am sour rose. And honestly ain't gonna give it much thought tbh

[nudeNhorny]

pregnant or not, I'd always give my seat for a woman

[Boomchakalaca]

👀 no way

[nudeNhorny]

a woman, an elder person, a person with disability...
only reason I wouldn't give my seat is in case of another healthy man like myself.

[TonyMetal___86]

Well if i wasn't suffering from this head unsteadiness thing these days than yes ofc, cause that's the polite thing to do, the girl is pregnant and needs to sit, not only will i provide my seat for a pregnant woman but also for an old man or woman...
