I was disappointed to read
comments that condoned the action Qantas took in the unaccompanied child
case. Perhaps I'm just a selfish male but I prefer not to be labelled a
paedophile every time I sit next to an unaccompanied child on a plane. Yes, maybe it's easier not to
complain and instead take a part in "community responsibility". But
I do not think that the man asked to move should have been obliged to. He'd paid
his airfare and if Qantas and Air New Zealand were really so concerned about
a child's safety and not a bunch of discriminatory ignoramuses, they would
have ensured the child was seated away from other passengers in the first
place. If the airlines wish to screen
passengers, why screen only males? Just as women don't like being
called "emotionally confused", we males prefer not to be labelled
paedophiles.
