I'm in my mid-30s. I don't give up my seat to 40 year old men and I wouldn't give up my seat to a 40 year old woman. As the Flying Spaghetti Monster dictates, "samey-samey". The equality door swings both ways.
Now, I was thinking of this exact thing today before this thread appeared. I would rather stand at the back of the bus than sit at the front. I consider the front of the bus, the whole front half, priority seating. If you are in the front half of the bus, you should be ready to vacate your seat as soon as you see someone you think would need the seat more than you (regardless of sex). Or if someone asks for your seat. No questions asked. But if I'm in the very back, I'm gonna have my headphones in watching some "Third Watch" or some-such and you ain't getting my seat if you're 110 and dying from arthritis pain.
