India’s largest budget carrier, IndiGo, is the first airline to trial a feature that lets female passengers book seats next to other women to avoid sitting shoulder-to-shoulder with a man in a move designed to make flying more comfortable for female passengers, according to a CNBC report.
The airline’s booking process is fairly standard except for the seat map which highlights seats occupied by women with the color pink. This information is not visible to male passengers, according to the airline, CNBC reported. IndiGo did not immediately respond to CBS MoneyWatch’s request for comment on the new feature.
Yes but I find all this both racist and sexist. Not all men in India are creeps, even if may be a rampant problem. Shouldn’t they instead try to punish the weirdos?
Of course and in an ideal world we wouldn’t need save spaces for women. But we don’t live in an ideal world and while not all men are creeps, still too many are.
I don’t think I don’t know any woman who wasn’t at some point in her life sexually harrased and/or assaulted. All over the world. And as long as the situation is like that, people like you, who feel offended or “segregated” by female safe spaces are part of the problem.
Yes you, crying “Not all meennn” are part of the problem and why the world isn’t safer for women.
