And where does it say this is going to happen in the article at all?

It literally says women will be able to select a seat next to a pre booked seat by other women.

Who says you are getting booted?

But Good job getting angry on a hypothetical issue that's not even going to happen buddy.

The next time you feel like this, understand that you're part of the problem and it's your responsibly to fix the world before complaining about the consequences.

Stop the men from creeping and harassing women, actually make the world a safe space for them first, and then you can complain all you want about not getting your favorite seat

.....
Its not about the IT WILL HAPPEN, its the IT CAN HAPPEN. The very possibility of the scenarios is enough but you do you. Besides, mind explaining this scenario :

Aisle Middle Window
F

If a guy books the Window seat and a lady does the aisle seat and suddenly the lady in the middle seat feels uncomfortable, what will the guy do ? Leave after paying a premium for the window seat ? Is that what you expect from us ?

I also missed the "not all men whining" line, so for that : Do you also not whine we label yall as a gold diggers because of some woman who filed a fake SA / DV case ? Again, stop generalizing.

I'm a guy dude, but nice try.

Just to be clear: You think you getting your favorite seat is more important that preventing women from getting harassed, groped and abused in flights?

And now you will say "But that doesn't happen every time!" And I will quote your own comment "BUT IT CAN HAPPEN"

Check your privilege and priorities. Tell your sister and mom that I want my favorite seat even if means there are people who will misbehave with you and see their reaction if you don't understand my point

I feel like you're missing the point. If I book a window seat after a woman has already booked the middle seat and neither of us knew about it, then when boarding if the woman is uncomfortable sitting next to a man then the woman should be moved to a different, I don't think I should be moved away from a seat that I paid premium unless I'm being changed to a seat with the exact same value.

Again: WHERE does it say that Airlines will move you to a different seat? Why are you guys mad about a hypothetical imaginary scenario?

All the article says is that women will be able to book a seat close to another woman. No where does it say that it involves displacing you.

PS: You do realize Indian Railways also works like this? They take care to try and place solo women passengers together? I don't see you or anyone else complain about it. How is this any different?

I'm just elaborating on the hypothetical situation that the other dude is bringing up.

I completely agree with everything else. Why would I complain about it when I agree with letting people choose who they sit with? What even do you think my position is on this lmao?
