Moreover, would you, a 55-year-old man, *really* remain seated while a
mother with a young child in her arms was standing?????

The squealing, emaciated, ear-ringed brat was not in her arms, it was in the
wretched buggy.

Yes, but had she had to fold the buggy, she would have had to stand with
the child in her arms. I wonder whether you would have still been
reluctant to give up your seat for her?
