I do not think any female gender posting on this thread will get any disagreement from any of the male genders posting here. We're among friends when we discuss items here and really there is no right or no wrong, just opinions. While I do have a problem with the manner in which female travelers are treated by some of airlines and hotels mentioned above, the problem will not get solved here. We are aware. If one wants to vent frustration, fine. That's also part of why we're here

So, let's vent our frustrations and go ahead and "Preach to the Choir". We do understand.
