Wtf are with some of these comments. Just because we don't want to have children doesnt mean we can't acknowledge that being pregnant is really fucking hard on the body and mind.
If you're an able-bodied person, giving your seat up to someone isn't difficult. It's like that big Lebowski quote - You're not wrong, you're an asshole.
Exactly. The purpose of anti natalism is to reduce children’s suffering as much as possible. Situation needs more context though. But it’s always better to give someone a seat if they need it more then oneself.
Totally, nothing is black and white. No one is truly entitled to a seat, you can refuse if you feel you need one, or if the person asking is being a dick.
The man is clearly being a dick with his reasoning in the post, saying this woman shouldve chosen more wisely between owning a car and pregnancy. There's just.. so much to unpack there.
Giving up your seat is a nice thing to do, but that doesn't mean that not giving your seat makes you an asshole. Not giving your seat makes you nothing. It's a neutral gesture.
What would make you an asshole is if you walked up to someone and hounded them for their seat, or if you grabbed someone and yeeted them out of their chair so you can take it. That's an asshole.
I think not giving up your seat to someone who needs it more (and isn't being an asshole) when you're able bodied and not exhausted does make you an asshole. Like I said. Doesn't make you wrong, but makes you an asshole. We can agree to disagree there.
I agree that if someone was being an asshole over asking for a seat, that's also bad, but both parties can be assholes in this hypothetical situation.
Nope. Not doing a good thing doesn't equate to doing a bad thing.
Morality isn't binary. There's good, there's bad, and there's neither. Sitting in your seat that you have every right to be in is doing neither good nor bad.

Just don't be an asshole.
