New Zealand Airlines Ban Men From Sitting Next to Children on Planes
Jeff at Protein Wisdom finds a New Zealand news article reporting that Quantas and Air New Zealand have adopted a policy that prohibits men from sitting next to unacompanied children on planes.
Political correctness gone mad? How about sheer idiocy? All men ought to be seeing red over this one. Jeff says:
....what happens when a westernized country becomes enthralled with identity politics (and overly fearful of victim litigation). Christ. Guilty until proven innocent. Hate crime legislation. Fear of giving offense. Empowering the frequently and easily offended in the name of “tolerance”. What a mess we’ve made of things.
I don't buy that the policy is grounded either in political correctness or tolerance. I'd call it blatant stereotyping that the airlines have been bullied into by one increasingly dangerous lobby: victimhood.
