What I object to is being a solo female traveler and the treatment I get.
1. Some restaurants don't want single females and ditto bars. You are viewed as soliciting for pay-to-play male company

4. If you are tall and a woman, you are viewed as not having any right to complain about crushed knees on planes "The MAN wants to recline, chided a flight attendant." I got bruised knees for his wishes.
1. I hear you, as a single male checking into a hotel, I am often assumed to be a gigolo and given a room out of earshot of others.

4. All seriousness aside, you must be having fun with your #4? Even if it is a 5-year old girl seated in front of you, they have full right to recline their seat. You really can’t play the female victim card on this one. This was a recent topic.
