I still live in a democracy and I still breathe fresh air for free...
...dignity of women...
For the others who choose to get trampled on, and not exercise their rights, its time we stood up for what is due to us.
I would take this story more seriously if there were not so much high drama in this poster's first (and probably last) post. There may be a real story here, but it is lost amid the outburst.
Incidentally, this is Flyertalk, not LinkedIn.
Boarding in a separate line is a privilege awarded to the very few (and the very rich). It is not a matter of freedom, democracy, human rights, women's rights, dignity, colonialism, orientalism, racism, demonetization, garibi hatao, dilli chalo, bande mataram, etc., etc. When Bal Gangadhar Tilak said "Freedom is my birthright, and I shall have it", he was probably not thinking about priority boarding on Jet Airways.
