Default Male chivalry ending?

On fairly packed train back from work there was a four seater near me with one space (window seat) and rest occupied by men.
A very attractive blond woman (about 24/ 25) rocks up and shows a heavy box and says to the shaggy haired aisle seat guy (about 23/24)something like "would you mind if I take your seat and you move to window one? The shaggy haired guy says "no I'd rather stay here" forcing her to a window seat with a heavy box. The guy in the opposite aisle seat burying his head in the papers but the guy in the opposite window seat resssuringly bemusedly smirking with her at the first guy.



About 1 min later another man and another pretty woman approach, discover at almost the same time that seat next to me is vacant. The man gets here first but the woman kind of expects him to forfeit it but he does not and sits next to me.

I' ve noticed a change in men nowadays eg pregnant woman stnding...not a bad thing imo.

Is this a good thing you think? Equality and all that
