Offer it, if she takes it fair enough, if she declines fair enough... If offended push her in the pool

Or offer, and if she gets uppity about feminism etc., apologise and say you thought she was pregnant. It'll go down a treat.

She’ll hit you then. And the white knights will jump in if you defend yourself. She’ll get away with assaulting you because it would be a woman hitting a man.

Jesus... do you live in some alternative universe where things like that actually happen?!

Because here in the real world, where adults live, that doesn't happen...

No need unless she’s elderly or you think she’s preggers. No need to mention the latter to her if unsure, she’ll just think it’s being offered because she’s a woman.

Woah be careful there.
Too many men have taken a hit for thinking a woman was preggers when in fact she just eats too many mars bars.

You can keep your seat with no issues whatsoever as long as you promise never to say lol lol ever again.

Or she might accept or decline graciously. Not every woman is as highly strung and defensive as that.

I find it hard to believe many women would take offense. For any woman that does go off on a sexist rant then I fully back another posters suggestion to introduce her to the pool. It's just a kind gesture, nothing more.

He says it in all his posts. Normally drives me mad when other people say it but I love when gifted says it. I've no idea why. I picture him like a real cute Dad figure that's always messing and in a good mood

Lol lol. Ha.

Kids must have swam the English Channel by now. Hope the woman was not wearing heels or her feet will be in bits standing there that long.

Yep. I often get offered a seat by the Dads at the side of a basketball court/hockey pitch (and no, I don't look preggers

). So far I've managed to contain my inner crazy and be grateful and gracious for the offer. You never know when I might crack though!

I probably would simply because I'd feel uncomfortable sitting there.

If she had a problem with it then Fcuk her.

It's the patriarchy deciding when women should be offended and by what sexist gesture!

Ahhh ok I understand now....

:pac:

If she's elderly, pregnant or looks like she needs it, I would. Otherwise I'm staying comfy.

I didn't offer.....I just sat there and read all your ermmm interesting replies.....

Besides she had a nice ass and I was enjoying the view too much......

Lol lol..

I'd give my seat to anyone who appeared to need it more than I did.

I'd be delighted if someone gave up their seat for me. I'd never expect or demand it but I'd take it if I was tired or feeling unwell.

I would expect any man to give me his seat and if he didn't I would sit on his lap and fart on him.

This is valid in this day and age. You're almost afraid to be a gentleman incase she causes a scene by clicking her fingers and moving her neck like a charmed snake whilst making you feel like the misogynist that you're not.

Hahaha. I actually remember an old teacher of mine who would act the same way when you pissed her off.

Oldtree

Only if the woman is older than me

and looking unsteady.

If your able to give birth, your able to stand.

I’m pregnant and people keep offering me seats (which is very nice of them). However sometimes I’d prefer to stand because sitting is uncomfortable but they make such a big deal I sit down to shut them up. Basically you can’t win whatever you do!

oh dear , bee.

I'm the kind that would go , "ah go on, go on" if offering a pregnant lady a seat. It would never dawn on me that I might be putting them in an uncomfortable situation - quite the opposite in fact. And this would be after deciding to risk offering offence.. EEEK.

I'd be ashamed to be in a seat if an elderly person was standing, and I'll always offer if someone is obviously pregnant or unwell etc. I've never been rudely refused or otherwise made regret the offer.

That said, I haven't been on public transport in a long time and maybe the world has done a complete about turn and everybody screams hysterically at anyone who holds a door or offers a seat. It's certainly what AH seems to think, anyway.
