Should have given your damn seats, brutes.
Should have offered the seats only if they allow them to join them for some socializing.
Well, if were talking old fashioned manners, two ladies wouldn’t be going into a saloon unescorted anyway.
It wasn’t the bartenders place to ask customers to give up their seats. But a 3 million dollar lawsuit is absurd.
The worst whoopin I ever received from my Father was after such an incident. We had a BBQ at my parents home, there were enough seats for all but one. I took it, and did not offer to give it to my female cousin when dad asked me to. I said, “I was here first”...I was about 16 or so. He picked me up by my collar...a little hair was involved, opened the back door with my face, opened the bedroom door with my face, then threw me into the bed. He said nicely, when you can apologize honestly, you can return to the party. I never left my room for the duration...lol. BIG MISTAKE, now he would be arrested. Of course then he would have left marks.
Why? Some women want all the rights and perks of men but not the responsibilities. Just like some other groups...they want special rights, not equal rights.
I’d give up my seat. Of course, my dad would STILL kick my butt if I didn’t.
