In many countries, giving up seats to women is not only a polite convention, but to some extent, it is considered an obligation, a standard of assessment for men.
Most of the opinions agree with the fact that healthy and healthy men should give up their seats to the frail elderly, regardless of gender, the disabled, young children and pregnant women.
But should men give up their seats to healthy women, with no health problems?
“Why should men do that? The refusal to give up seats to the weak faction is a sign of moral erosion and lack of masculinity, ”a British reader wondered.
In 2019, writer and journalist Nirpal Dhaliwal, 45, expressed his views on Good Morning Britain! (Good morning England!) that men and women are equal, they both have to go to work, lose money to buy tickets and maintain their lives. “So why should I be condemned and criticized if I don’t give up my seat to a girl who is physically fit, in good health?”, the writer from London said during a debate on the topic “is feminism is killing chivalry?”
Dhaliwal believes that many men are condemned for not being generous in helping women. “But it’s a one-way operation. That means we’ve always been charged with the obligation to give kindness. But no woman has ever given up her seat, even as I hobbled into the car due to an injury. They He didn’t even open the door or pull up a chair for me,” he said.
Dr Oliver Scott Curry, an expert on human behavior, at the University of Oxford, UK, said: ‘Everyone is waiting for men to help because they think it’s the right thing to do. Gogglebox star and social etiquette expert Mary Kille also mentioned the custom that “men must always give way to women and elders”.
In a UK survey of 2,000 regular commuters, only 60% of respondents said they would give up their seat to a pregnant woman. Meanwhile, 30% feel this is only necessary if women are pregnant in the last months of pregnancy.
Noreen Khan, presenter of the BBC Asian Network and a comedian who participated in the debate with Dhaliwal, said she had never expected a man to give up his seat. But she still gladly accepted if someone suggested. She said feminism and chivalry can “coexist”. Such an action would not contradict feminist values.
“I consider myself a feminist and don’t feel offended if a generous man offers to help. I’m willing to say ‘yes, please’ if he helps open the car door or carry it for me.” luggage, even without asking,” Noreen said, noting that “not giving up a seat to a woman does not judge a man’s character”.
As for Dhaliwal, he thinks he will only give up his seat and offer to help those he sees in need.
