Is it just me or are men less empathetic to pregnant women on the trains? So far only women have given up their seats to me.

On the contrary, men have always given up their seats to me. I've had some extremely rude reactions from women. I was lucky in the sense that I never had to stand. On days where I wasn't offered a seat, I would just blatantly ask for the priority seat. Rather than keeping quiet and lament about how nobody is giving up the seats, just ask for a seat. If you genuinely need it, people will vacate the seats for you.

For me personally, even though I commute to work everyday via MRT and bus, thorough my pregnancy I was only offered less than 10 times. And all were foreign male workers. I don't think it's which gender that less enpathetic, but rather as a nation. It's quite sad to see that someone else has to tap and ask a "sleeping" healty person to get up and give his/her seat for someone who needs it.

It’s a mix actually. Some men are nice to give up seats the moment they see an expecting mum entering the train. The worse I have encountered is the person taking the priority seat is not sleeping but the moment he saw me approaching, he immediately take out a document file to read and ignore me.

Women understand. Men don't and unfortunately they never will understand

I saw the same issue, very odd to me.
