A 14 year old kid was sexually harassed and offered drugs by an adult on a flight. the child complained, but stewardesses refused to alter seating arrangements

Can we just get some common sense from the flight attendants? If a kid complains, change his seat. If there are no complaints, then there is no reason to change anyone's seat. simple

I'm sorry but the idea that this would have happened if it was a girl instead of a boy is ludicrous.

All a woman has to do is say "sexual harassment" and a shitstorm immediately follows. period.

I know that I cannot be 100% certain, but it seems very likely that the situation would have been handled differently had it been a young 14 year old girl.

...and of course the airline should institute a seating policy that doesn’t allow women to sit next to unaccompanied minors.

Just this is enough for me to upvote the article. We've long been complaining/crusading about the unfair policy of single men not being allowed to sit next to unaccompanied minors on planes. A counter example like this shows how silly that policy is, and how the proper solution would be to have properly trained flight attendants who will protect the minor passengers in their care.

Why is there a link with a picture of a naked "hot girl of the week" on the side? It's small, but still-- can't normal websites be sfw?

Linking to a NSFW site for a political article is low-rent, kloo, even for you.

if youre at work shouldnt you be working not hanging out on reddit?

It would've been nice to be linked to the actual article, instead of a rant about the article.

I don't think this has anything to do with feminism or men's rights. The airline responded poorly, but the child's gender is really irrelevant to the case.

I'm very curious how this situation would have been different if it was a 14 year old boy complaining about a 51 year old man.
