    On our last flight, a woman asked me to get her luggage down from the overhead bin. I had a brief moment of panic. Did I read somewhere that this was now forbidden? Then I realized that if she was asking me to it must be ok.

        Forbidden from flight security standpoint or from women equality standpoint?

        I *believe* flight attendants may no longer raise passenger bags due to OSHA concerns. Could be, maybe, likely off the mark though.

        Just be with the girls that say "Word". At the same time, "Can I tell you why the Y-Combinator is the most elegant of functional constructs?"

        There's no way to navigate a system where nothing's right, so just be the gentleman you've always been. Same chance of being right, right? Hilarious tweet! 😂

        I find chivalry is appreciated when nice people such as yourself do it without condescension. Appreciated even more when requested and fulfilled.

        Yes, women haven't been forbidden on flights for quite a while now.
