We'll always have problems here if we continue to believe second hand accounts that "prove" our preconceived stereotypes of each other.

Lol I'm in my 20s! I'm female though so naturally I don't have as much arm strength as men do, that's just simply not the way most women are built. Like I said, I CAN lift my bag, but I think its really nice when people offer to help that it is much easier for. And I'll repeat, I don't EXPECT it ever. I help passengers all the time that have trouble, like if they have extra stuff because they are carrying a baby and need help opening a stroller, or are walking to a wheel chair and have bags that if I carried to the wheel chair would be a lot easier for them. All I'm saying is I think its nice when people offer help.
These message boards do not do a very good job at portraying people. In reality, I'm one of the most hated pilots to fly with, but on this board I come off as everyone's favorite poster. Wait, maybe I have that backwards.

ALPA Toilet Paper
I got rid of my ALPA magazine subscription a while ago. Someone just showed me the cover. Has anyone got an airsickness bag handy?

Really tsquare? You're going to equate saving a plane load of lives by doing the job of blocking, with someone being injured by helping you because you won't handle your own personal affairs?
I appreciate the females who try to handle things themselves. When I see that they can't, I help. I just wish they would understand that men are men. We are hard-wired to help them. When they don't handle their own affairs, the health of others can be jeopardized...even when they are trying to lift it themselves.
And it's not a hypothetical. It happened to a good friend and he was out for a long time.

.. and it was hypothetical, because you used the first person pronoun, I. Besides what relevance would her feelings about that have anyway? If you hurt your back helping her out, should she come to your house and clean your toilets for free? What are you looking for here?

I remember when Dave Garrett was CEO at Delta. That was the culture then. He was a giant in the industry, and a real innovator with regard to employee relations. That died with the next CEO.
It's understandable to long for those days, but it's not rational to pretend they still exist.

Its a trade publication, everybody I know that gets one in their own business thinks they are pretty lame also, but there is usually a piece of info or two worth knowing about.

But if you mean that we need to cave-in to management's "me too" issue in order to ensure that other employee groups don't hate us, that's where we differ. You're not really saying that are you?

If you mean the way we employees treat each other, I agree with you.
