After you...

Should you give up your seat on a bus or train to a pregnant woman?  Well, yes, of course you should, but would you?  And experience suggests that the answer is - probably no.  A pregnant reporter took her camera on the Tube and filmed people looking anywhere but at her as she stood there looking uncomfortable.  Mind you, I think this might be a generational thing - I was brought up to give up my seat for a standing woman, pregnant or not, and indeed equally for a much older person, and open doors for them and such,  But today, the idea that women are the weaker sex and require special consideration is treated with derision - as much by women themselves as anyone.  So I think it's somewhat a case of "as ye sow, so shall ye reap".
