Pregnant Olivia Wilde Blasts Subway Riders for not Giving up Seats
New York Post ^ | September 14, 2016 | Lindsey Kupfer

Don’t mess with pregnant Olivia Wilde.

“NBD, able-bodied 🚇 [train] riders who won’t give your seat to a GIANT preggo,” she sarcastically tweeted on Wednesday. “I’ll just stand riiiiight next to your head and pray I go into labor.”

They wanted to raise a bunch of girlie-men instead of REAL men, and now they are complaining

A REAL MAN would have immediately noticed her and asked.

I offered a seat once to a pregnant woman, and when I stood up to let her sit down a stupid punk sat down.

I whacked him in the head and yanked him out of the seat.

Heard this on the ‘news’ today. Apparently someone tweeted back ‘I paid as much for my seat as you did’. The Left sows the wind and reaps the whirlwind. My husband and son would have given up their seat for a pregnant woman, but they are Conservative.

Olivia Wilde is pregnant? It wasn’t me. Sadly.

Yes that is odd unless it is very convenient to do so but being very pregnant one would think not.

I would give up my seat for a pregnant woman, and I am a nearing-60 woman.

Excuse me, but aren't these the same people who kept saying, "Pregnancy is not an Illness" and kept demanding that pregnant women be forced to keep doing high risk jobs?

Yes, I said, "forced" and I mean "forced". Once upon a time if you were pregnant you had the option of moving to a job that was safer until your baby was born. Those jobs were usually lower in pay and status but you would have the comfort of knowing that your child was protected.

Many companies can no longer offer this option without being sued. So they just don't hire females for those jobs.

I am sure she is a feminist bitch who wants all her femininist privileges and the privileges of a chivalrous culture. I also note that she is having children out of wedlock. I don’t care if she stands.

I always give up my seat for a pregnant woman, an older person, or someone with young children (male or female).

What are you squawking about?
What are you squawking about?
You women who fought to get equal rights
Then cut off your hair and stayed out at night,
Just go on and smoke all you please,
And drink till you’re weak in the knees.
But if you’re in a crowd and they tromp on your feet,
And no one gets up to give you a seat,
And they don’t tip their hat when you walk down the street,
Well, What are you squawking about, about?
What are you squawking about?

from What Are You Squawking About? by Carson Robison (1932)

I whacked him in the head and yanked him out of the seat.

If I had been there, I would have applauded. Thank you.

I ride the NYC subway every day and give up my seat to every pregnant woman I spot. Here is a problem (which may have been the case with Olivia Wilde): sometimes you can’t tell if a woman is pregnant! Some very thin women just don’t look pregnant, while some women who are chubby or fat look pregnant when they are not. Believe me, I have jumped up and offered my seat to women who were baffled as to why I was offering, and I’ve offered my seat to women who knew I thought they were pregnant and it turned out they weren’t and they were offended. I’m not kidding about this! And I’m a woman myself, so I do get both how hard it would be to be pregnant and standing AND how much it would sting to have someone think I was pregnant when I wasn’t.

This may seem nuts, but I suggest pregnant women on the subway announce, “I’m pregnant. May I please sit down?” I guarantee many riders just didn’t notice them and will hop up.

As well she should.

I don’t know what man with any sort of manners or consideration would not give up his seat to a pregnant or elderly woman.

Wait, isn’t this the “equality” that feminists fought so hard to inflict?

On the other side, I once asked my cousin when she was due. Wrong question that I still haven’t lived down to this day! If they look pregnant, give up the seat. If they don’t look pregnant, give up the seat because that’s what gentlemen do. A real man isn’t about being all burly with six-pack abs, a real man is a state of attitude one carries himself with. People always ask why I think some of the top models are the most ugliest women in the world. It’s all in their attitudes that is one of the biggest turnoffs. Its this same principal that applies to gentleman. Its not how other people think you should act its how you conduct yourself within the morals and principles that we are governed by as a society. When those rules change we adapt to those changing rules. This doesn’t mean to become a wuss. This means knowing proper etiquette and conducting yourself with that etiquette. A gentleman is a real man even if he can’t bench 250 lbs. A real man will stand up for his woman or any other lady. So instead of her proclaiming she is pregnant or what have you, a gentleman always relinquishes his seat for a female.

I once held a heavy office building door open for a pregnant woman, a stranger, in New York and she barked at me, “It’s not a disease you know!” very pissed off that I had made ANY allowance for her condition.

Basically you can’t win, because you never know who you’re dealing with. Do unto others, and then get kicked in the nuts for it.

Real men with any sort of manners or considerations are a rarity these days. Remember, it’s all about MEEEEEEEE!!!!!

And if a man offered her his seat, she'd scream about how anti-woman and condescending he was!

Can't have it both ways baby...

Wilde is a major libtard big mouth

But on this she’s right

I’ve been in office waiting rooms in barely still southern metro Nashville and watched GenX and Y parents with kids sit in all the chairs while old people and women stand

The kids don’t know better

And the parents are ill raised

I always give my seat to women or older folks....and I’m older now too but eff all that

If I can barely stand I will

Call it what you will

Unless I’m Monty Python black knight I’m giving up my seat

Course I am old school southern

Along with the virtues of slavery they taught us that ...lol
