Why I will boycott Qantas and Air New Zealand

This is beyond insane.

If anyone knows of other companies that pursue these kind of discriminatory and sexist policies, please let me know in the comments section. Because it's quite apparent that they exist.

Other airlines One News spoke to have similar guidelines. They say it's to protect male passengers from potential allegations as much as the children.

How very thoughtful. Assuming they're referring to potential false allegations, for I don't see why they would want to protect someone from a truthful one, wouldn't it be a better idea to deal with the people making such false accusations?

(Either that, or I want to be seated next to really pretty single women in exchange.)

Epibratie
"I believe in life. I believe in treasuring it as a mystery that will never be fully understood, as a sanctity that should never be destroyed, as an invitation to experience now what can only be remembered tomorrow. (...)
I believe in liberty. I believe that within every soul lies the capacity to reach for its own good, that within every physical body there endures an unalienable right to be free from coercion. (...)
I believe in the pursuit of happiness. Not its attainment, nor its final definition, but its pursuit. I believe in the journey, not the arrival; in conversation, not monologues; in multiple questions rather than any single answer."
Andrew Sullivan
