It is always rather ironic how the mighty enlightened, limo-liberal, progressively-minded people can’t see the inevitable conclusions of their ideological and culturally Marxist arguments. If it didn’t effect all of us, it would be somewhat humorous to point their insufferable hypocrisies back at them.
Oh well. At least in this story they were not baking a cake….
All Your Accommodations Are Belong To Us COTO DE CAZA, Calif. — A Southern California woman said she is the victim of discrimination, CBS Los Angeles reports.
Mary Campos said her pre-booked ticket was given away by United Airlines. The reason? She’s a woman, and two men didn’t want to sit next to a female.
A million-mile flier, Campos, a mom who lives in Coto de Caza, said she thought she’d seen it all – until a gate agent handed her a new boarding pass just before she got on a flight to Houston last Monday.
“He said, ‘This is your new seat,’” Campos said, “and I said, ‘Excuse me?’ And he said, ‘I don’t know how to tell you this.’”
She said she continued by saying, “Yes?”
And the agent told her, “The two gentlemen seated next to you have cultural beliefs that prevent them for sitting next to, talking to or communicating with females.”
She was shocked.

This needs to go viral.
Probably but I can’t see Krishna, Buddhists or Tibetan Buddhists monks raising a ruckus about being sat next to a women. In my travels I have seen such like them and if they speak English are infallibly polite & deferential. Pleasant to sit next to on a long flight.
When I was a flight attendant, I had been asked several times by ME men if I was ‘clean’, meaning ‘are you menstruating ‘.
I always said no. Let them die of hunger and thirst.
This is a good argument for pigs as “service animals”.
Could possibly clear a whole plane full of the lesser critters.

Yet there is an ancient Buddhist story that offers a lesson and goes something like this: An old monk and a young monk come upon a woman stuck on the bank of a river. The old monk offers to pick her up and carries her across.The young monk thinks about what he saw. Finally, he asks how the senior monk could even think of touching a woman.
“I set her down,” the old monk explains. “You are still carrying her.”
That kind of says it for me. I wonder whether they demanded to sit together (seems unlikely) or asked. (they should have) Did the airline's personnel take it upon themselves to turn a request into a demand? I have no sympathy for the monks if they did make it a demand and no respect for the airline for bowing down to it.
That is cruel to the pigs and dogs.
A distinction without a difference.
NO religion on earth should have the power to deprive American citizens of their fundamental civil rights.
None.
Never.
Not ever.
Gloria Allred, please pick up the white phone.
“A million mile flyer” ..?????? And they’re going to displace her because of two men who can’t stand sitting next to women .. MOVE THEM.
Or, I’d demand a PERMANENT FIRST CLASS PRIVATE SEAT .. OR ELSE .. , PLUS MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO BOOT.
This kind of coddling has got to stop.
Are civil rights superior to natural rights now?
At least she was spared that faint fecal scent wafting from their left hands, under the cover of cheap cologne.
Sometimes you need to recognize that you landed on your feet.
Maybe easier said than done, but, I Would NOT give up my seat for a Muslim.
Muzzies, monks, munchkins—whatever.
United should have told the Kwai Chang Cains: this is still the first world where we sit next to women.
If you don’t like it you can ride with the baggage, in a wheel well or on a wing.
Yes, and the best way to get the airline to change the policy is a “punitive” award.
$10 million ought to do it — and send a message to all other airlines as well.
Would they had asked her to change her seat if she was gay and someone objected? What if they demanded she wear muslim headgear? Its time we DEMAND that the Muslimes adapt to OUR ways and refuse to accomidate them. Why should we have tolerance for them when they are the most INTOLERANT people in the world. F’em.
// “I set her down,” the old monk explains. “You are still carrying her.” //
Good story! That’s what I thought — thanks.
You said that, I didn't.
Go away; you bother me.
MMMMMmmmmm...Not enough.
You want punitive?
As part of the settlement, lifetime free three adjacent first class seats upon request, for travel anywhere United flies, or until they go out of business.
“Maybe easier said than done, but, I Would NOT give up my seat for a Muslim.”
If that situation ever comes up, sleep with one eye open lest you become his passport to Paradise.
