I upvoted it. She's exaggerating and generalizing (though that may really be her specific circumstances), but I agree with her.

People care less or more about the opinions and desires of men/women, depending on the situation. People tend to care more about getting where they're going with minimum hassle, than they are catering to other people's ability to get where they're going.

An example; Japan's trains are crazy busy (especially during rush hours, you're packed in like sardines right to the doors) and as a reasonably big, 6'2" guy (Japanese people are a couple of inches shorter than American), everybody gives me space and lets me ahead of them when they clearly don't for others (though my being white probably affected it too).

When people think they can just shove past you or get in your way without repercussions, they will (not all people obviously, but enough). Being shorter, thinner, looking more fragile, and I believe, even being female all contribute. Even if women can deal serious damage when they want to, there is a societal perception that women are gentle, and won't be confrontational or aggressive while a man would. Regardless of the reality of that situation (which is somewhat founded, though not entirely), the fact that people think that way is what matters.
