bullshit. On my worst day, pregnant and with packages, I'll always give up my seat for someone who looks worse off. It's just fucking nice. But anyway, once you take out the elderly, disabled and pregnant, who are you talking about who is left? Oh, "older" and "female." Well, again, that's a matter of being polite and part of civil society. People who ignore it make the world that much more irritating for everyone. Have you never seen the smiles that go around when someone gives up a seat (okay, I mostly rode the 5th Ave. bus to work, so maybe that's the issue) for somone else who just looks beat or struggling, or just even slightly more harried, female or "of a certain age"? Everyone feels better.
