I feel like "frenemy" might be a more accurate description, but point taken.

It's on a plane.

It's not. Fuck those men who are perfectly happy to be supported by women's tax dollars and protected by female soldiers but are too good to sit next to them on the bus.

If men are leering at women, the solution is the burqa. If men are harassing women, the solution is to force them to have males escort them in public. If men and women can't even sit beside each other on a plane without discomfort or scandal, segregate the women. See, women can fix male behavior by altering their own!

First y'all complain about "manspreading" and then you're mad when we give you a whole cabin to yourselves! Make up your minds!

Chances I would take a flight that long with no booze? Some chance.

The flight attendant could have handled it better but she was and is right in her objections. The purchased seat was in an entirely different section of the plane. The parents tried to plead that there were no other options but there are several legal and safer ones available.

Also not excusing the airline... but they can't be expected to smoothly deal with every possible scenario when it comes to accommodating special needs. They certainly should have handled this better, but it would have been a non-issue if the parents had brought their own safety seat.

Glad they got this all figured out before she's 10 and 90 lbs.

I think that if the attendant had really known what she was doing, she could have explained the situation better to the parents (that they should use a car seat). Maybe she did this and the parents omitted this detail, I don't know. I agree that she was doing her job, but it sounds like she could have handled it…

I don't think the flight attendant was being callous - they were doing their job. If something happened and Ivy was injured, it is quite possible that the airline and/or the attendants could face serious repercussions. If I knew I could possibly have my ass sued to hell and back, lose my job, or worse, be laden with…

There should be plenty of witnesses ready to come forward for their five minutes of fame.

I'm glad they are going to start using a safety seat for Ivy. Frankly, I'm really surprised they didn't do this already, as she probably uses a car seat in their car, right? How do you have a child with special physical needs and not look really closely into solutions for safety in special situations (like flying,…

I have a dress with side cut outs in electric pink and when I wear it I put glittery bronzer on my exposed sides because living in New Jersey has a permanent effect on your brain and I love it.

BUT, could it have figuratively saved her life? English majors want to know...

Woman says a skin-tight party dress quite literally saved her life

With my 1/8th a MD and I am saying this is technically possible. The physics of injury within a human body definitely can be changed by supportive structures — we use this to our benefit to protect damaged parts with casts and braces, or to prevent injury to joints during exercise. If her dress was as tight as my NYE…

It does make some kind of sense. When I was young, my paramedic-mom told me that every car crash is actually made of 3 separate impacts - the actual impact of the vehicles together, the impact of the body against the car's interior and/or flying objects in the car, and the impact of internal parts of the body against…

"The doctors told me that if I hadn't worn such a tight dress which held in place my bones as the car impacted, I would have most definitely punctured vital organs"
