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

[Anonymous]

[boggboss]

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

[Anonymous]

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?

[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..

[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.

[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.

[Anonymous]

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...

[Al_Musafir]

Yes, obviously. Have done that before, would do it again.

[AviatorTom]

Yes, I've done it many times, even when she is much younger than this old geezer

[sheikalana]

Absolutely! I would do the same for anyone who's visibly injured, a parent with a kid or and elderly person.

[DryGermanGuy]

That probably happened, but it’s far more old people that I have given my seat.

[JacobJordan]

have before it is common courtesy to give up your seat to the pregnant, elderly or handicapped.

[FunkyMonkee]

I nearly ALWAYS give up my seat for a woman, the elderly and the infirmed.

[Juxtapose]

No, I paid for my spot. I especially won't give up my spot if she acts entitled.

If you really sweet talk me then maybe I will.

[Juxtapose]

"Oh but she's pregnant blah blah.."

How is that my problem? That is her choice.

[driven159]

I drove public transit for over 20 years if they did not give up their seat, I would tell them to and make them look bad.

[Razzmatazz1010]

Maybe. Not that woman. She's not so big that she has a problem standing. Also she's not fucking me. She's over here getting sniz on the reg and I don't get nothing.

[Sasha0426]

Ew! You’re 40 and you still talk like a high school boy?

[Razzmatazz1010]

@Sasha0426 and you look like any emaciated cancer patient

[Sasha0426]

And what if I was a cancer patient?

[Sasha0426]

Are you going to make fun of for dying?

[Sasha0426]

*of me

[Razzmatazz1010]

@Sasha0426 then I wouldn't feel bad for you because you look like you get sniz on the regs which I don't. I would exchange a couple of years off of my life if I could have intimacy

[Sasha0426]

That’s not really problem 🤷‍♀️

[Razzmatazz1010]

@Sasha0426 nah we all die. You are the one making fun of me because of my age and the way I talk. Let's not gaslight

[Sasha0426]

It was well deserved 🤷‍♀️

[Razzmatazz1010]

@Sasha0426 You do get sniz on the regs don't you?

[Luckycharms12]

I drive but if I was for sure get up or older person.

[MrCharlie13]

I don't think this question is on the right cathegory, and yes

[Guido]

Absolutely. I have and always will. Same applies to seniors as well.

[Raaj4you]

Yes, obviously. I have done that before. Pregnant women look so cute.

[JustinTheGreat]

Yes of course

[Anonymous]

No, I didn't chose my disability but you likely chose pregnancy

[Nikki1989]

Newsflash, pregnancy is not a disability. I guess you failed health class.

[Opinion Owner]

These seat are priority I have a priority card in account of said disability, you want a priority seat on another bus then order one from the bus company

[Boomchakalaca]

Ugh this dude disgusts me

[Opinion Owner]

Can't wait for the government mandated gender separation to curb overpopulation if they just skip a generation altogether

[Tapeworm]

@Opinion owner lol there's something making these influencers feel the need to be smart on your opinion.

@Boomchakalaca @nikki1989 he never said pregnancy is a disability, and that's his point, he's disabled and a pregnant woman is not. By law he's entitled to all these perks like nearest parking spots and elevators.

So you're wrong replying to him like that. But I, would say that pregnancy is disabling. You cannot sprint as fast or go rock climbing while pregnant, it disables you from all these activities. It is a temporary disability.

[mobiusforniner]

@Boomchakalaca yeah, to imagine we share a world with people who’d be okay watching it burn than give the slightest thought to making it better

[Opinion Owner]

Thank you @Tapeworm

@mobiusforniner I'm the one holding the Zippo, in the words of a great song I recall 'the world is a c**t and we've been neglected'

[Boomchakalaca]

His attitude still disgusts me

[Opinion Owner]

Guessing you're a liberal who commends child rapists as heroes, I find out someone watched something illegal and I solve that problem permanently let alone the imagination for a kit of tool to deals with a liberal like that but they are protected by your ilk aren't they

[CrimsonAngel09]

🙄🙄🙄

[mobiusforniner]

Dude, whatever it is you’re on, you need to come down lol. I read your responses and I swear it’s English words but I haven’t the slightest clue what the hell you’re saying

[Anonymous]

Only for an old person. They didn't choose to be old.

[Boomchakalaca]

Yes! Come on its a no brainer

[Nikki1989]

Absolutely.

[ushagomez]

Not just on public transport.

[leahzrc]

maybe if she gave me some sort of look

[mobiusforniner]

Yes without a doubt

[exitseven]

Yes, I have dome this before.

[Dargil]

I have before.

[Alex-Snow]

Of course. It is just the right thing to do

[andreasderjuengere]

Only if all other seats are taken, too.

[RedInnocent68]

But of course…

[DextroShade]

Only if she had a wedding ring on.

[KrakenAttackin]

@DextroShade. This is the best answer.

[OfDeath]

Yeah, that's the sort of thing I would do.

[clampfan101]

Absolutely. Women in general.

[Imaguyandagirl]

Yes, in Canada it is part of the culture

[MiddleAgedClimbee]

Absolutely

[imfreeze95]

Absolutely without question.

[B5567]

Nah I wouldn't

[CrimsonAngel09]

Parents didn't teach you kindess I see.

[Worst]

no lol how else am I supposed to man spread

[Anonymous]

I would never be on public transport.

[Saiesh30]

Always! 💯

[slatyb]

Yes, I would.

[Flatmanlewis]

Absolutely.

[helva]

Sure

[butterly248]

Yea ofc
