I even let her sit down when she got on the train at 42nd street, and I continued to stand.

Oh wow, everyone look at this chivalrous hero - he was standing when she got on the subway, and graciously “let” a random woman sit. It’s not like he gave up a seat for her, but he still thinks that by “continuing to stand” he somehow did something special that she should be grateful to him for.

I know seats can be a rare opportunity on the NYC subway, especially around 42nd St. But to think that by standing you’re somehow entitled to more respect than anyone else is absurd.

Funny how she was standing in the video he posted though. In a really pretty relaxed position too so it doesn't look like she just got up.
