Broad brush branding of men sits uneasily

We should all despise bad men. But when did all men become bad?

An Indian low-cost airline has now put in place a policy that gives credence to a sentiment that has been steadily stewing across our communities and infusing our political debate.

IndiGo has decided to allow women travellers to choose not to sit next to any man.

That means, when females check in online, they will be able to view which seats have been booked by other women.

Men, on the other hand, reportedly, will be able to see which seats are empty; they will not know the gender of those that are filled.

It’s only one decision by one company – but what it screams is so much bigger than that.

With more than 2000 domestic and international flights daily, IndiGo is spreading the word that no man can be trusted, and they all deserve to be treated as such.

Why aren’t we arguing that this is discriminatory?

That it is unfair on those........
