When I’m sans injury, I can stand at the door without touching anything. The door provides great leverage and support so I don’t have to touch that nasty ass pole – yech! But, for the times when it’s inevitable, that’s what the hand sanitizer on my keychain is for 🙂
DH- Then I guess you don’t pay attention to what men call women (or other men) behind their backs.
I could write to Palin and tell her to her face but the point with her is she put herself out there for a really important position. You think you’re up to a job like Veep? You are going to have to prove it because you are going to be responsible for a hell of a lot of people and their lives.
THL- on principle I agree with that. Not much of a journalist.
Sure, Bxgirl, plenty of women do give up their seats for the person in need. I don’t deny that. I’m just saying they don’t do it for me. Not in the last month anyway. And politeness and what I in this situation consider to be common sense, has nothing to do with gender roles. If you are able bodied and capable of standing you should get up for a person in real need of a seat be you a man or a woman. We can’t blame gender roles for rudeness. (well, I see it as rudeness, but I’m biased…I’m hobbling on a cane! LOL)

IJ- :-)!!!
M4L – Almost all the time. I know the route well (I take the R through Brooklyn to the financial district) and know where the big bumps and jumps are.

I always sit on the train, even if I have to wedge myself in between two fat, stupid, whorish women.
Gloria Steinem said the discrimination would be over when white men act as nannies to black women’s children.
Oh, so YOU’RE those people!:)
