A 23-year-old girl faced hatred online because she did not allow a man to sit next to her on a train
A 23-year-old girl on the Reddit published a story that happened during her last train ride. She received a lot of angry comments and accusations of callousness.
So, according to her, she was traveling by train from work. Usually it was empty at that time, but this time the carriage was overcrowded. She put her purse on the next seat and did not let the elderly men who had to stand sit next to her, the New York Post reports.
Some passengers began to ask her to make room. But she was outraged by this. According to her, she was often harassed by men on trains, so now she was in no mood for someone to sit next to her.
At the same time, the woman admitted that if there was a woman next to her, she would "gladly give up her seat".
This situation did lead to a dispute between the passengers. "An employee had to intervene and he moved me to a seat for the disabled," she concluded.
This revelation was immediately followed by a huge number of angry comments. Many noted that the author of the post should have immediately made room because the train is for people, not bags. However, some women still supported the passenger in her fears of contact with rude men.
