Oh, that's ok then,
Do what she wants, when she is told no
become a "stressed woman with a child" and ignore the rules
Cries, screams, upsets the entire plane
incites a male passenger to take her side even though she's in the wrong (because its always the mans fault when a woman cries),
gets the gate attendant disciplined for doing his job and defending himself from an ignorant male passenger
gets an upgrade to first class for her trouble
and the aggressive male passenger gets away scott free.
If Americans think that's ok, then they need to wake up and take a long hard look at themselves.
