Train seats - is this me being sensitive?

[traumaforgotten]

I travel long distance on trains a lot - often where the seat reservations don't come through (Same company) and every time I notice there is a pattern where I am asked to move myself or my bag first when there is a wealth of empty seats next to men all around me. Not even with bags on the seats - it's like it's much easier to inconvenience me than to ask a guy to move his bag - every time

Everard yes I do think the little things add up and we don't even know what they are as we can't walk in the shoes of a person who is a big male to find out!

When I started watching DH and people around him it was really intetesting though and eye opening.

I had a bloke site next to me on train and press his leg against me the whole way...he could have sat in another seat, it was deliberate. I wish I'd changed seats but at the time that felt like the more awkward option. Much worse things happen but it was enough to make me feel gross and to remember it.

Oh I hate that happened to me more when I was younger
